Adewale Egbedi shares the emotional ordeal of having his 28-year-old younger brother, Emmanuel, kidnapped while heading to an NYSC camp. Emmanuel, a civil servant from Kaduna, was preparing to begin his National Youth Service Corps programme. The family learned of his abduction on August 6 when Emmanuel called his sister, revealing he was held captive.
The family reported the incident to the transport company and local authorities, who confirmed the kidnapping and initiated investigations. Despite initial negotiations, the kidnappers demanded N100 million in ransom, which the family refused to pay. They have been receiving calls from the abductors, demanding increasing sums. The family is desperate to secure Emmanuel's release, emphasizing that their priority is his life rather than the ransom amount.
