Toyin Nwosu Kidnappers Demand N100 Million Ransom

Sure you heard about the lady who was kidnapped from her home in Amuwo Odofin yesterday , Toyin Nwosu is the wife of Deputy MD Sun Newspaper, Steve Nwosu.

The Kidnappers have gotten in contact and made a request of N100 Million Naira according to Vanguard.

Narrating his encounter with the abductors, Mr Steve Nwosu said

 

I thought the sound was coming from another place. I went to the toilet, put off the light and peeped through the window. It was then I heard a bang in the sitting room. By the time I came out, they had jumped in and pointed the gun at me. I raised up my hands  because, as a matter of policy I do not argue with anyone with a gun. They  started slapping and kicking me and  at the same time asked: ”Where is the money?

I told them I had no money in the house which was true but they did not believe me. They continued beating me with a horse whip and asked if my wife had no money as well. I said I would not know, that the only money she should have was a cheque of N50 ,000 I gave to her to get some things in the house.

At that moment my children who slept in the sitting room after watching television started screaming. They took them into one room, locked them up and came back for me. They marched my wife and I round the rooms, ransacking the whole place. They demanded for her jewelry. After searching and finding nothing, one of them said, ‘Mopol, let us go, we are wasting so much time.’

At that point, I was blindfolded and taken outside. But they brought me back inside and asked my wife to get dressed while I was still blindfolded.

The next thing I heard were  sporadic  gunshots  outside, followed by shouts of Ole! It was at that point I knew they had left. The first person I asked after was my wife, who was nowhere to be found. I went into the room where my children were locked and found them.  The operation lasted thirty minutes.  They came in at about 1.50 am and left after 2am. I rushed outside and was told that they went away in a motor boat through the canal. I was told that  about four of them were outside with guns while three came inside.”

May God save us …
