Imo State Commissioner of Police Audu Bosso has refuted claims of a ransom payment made before the release of 20 abducted NYSC members and one other individual in Imo State. During an interview with Channels Television on Thursday, Bosso stated that the kidnappers eventually heeded to the demands of security agencies. The victims were found and rescued after security forces conducted a thorough search in the Amakohia-Ubi forest, located in Owerri West Local Government Area.
Bosso said the released victims are currently receiving medical care at the Department of State Services office in Owerri. The incident, which took place on October 1, saw the perpetrators demand N50 million for each victim; however, Bosso said he was not aware of any such payment.
