Among the items are: Samsung S21 Ultra with IMEI No: 350299944273493/352817864273496 valued, IPhone 6, my bank transfer PIN and transferred the sum of N4,900,000.00, (four million, nine hundred thousand naira) from my GT Bank account to a Polaris Bank account, $15,000 worth of bitcoin, gold necklace and hand chain.

“They took me to a river, stripped me naked and started beating me again. After the beating, they blindfolded me again, took me to a room where I was kept for seven hours and were calling my parent for ransom of N16 million that if my parent refuse to pay the money they will kill me.

“They put a call to their father who they claimed is a military man who ordered them to shoot my legs but they ended up hitting my legs with planks before I was released to go at about 2.30am on the 11th February, 2022.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Bello Kontongs confirmed the report and said he was expecting detailed briefing from the anti-kidnapping department of the police.
