A National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Rofiat Lawal, who was kidnapped along the Benin-Ore Expressway on Tuesday, has regained her freedom after her family paid One Million, One Hundred Thousand Naira (₦1.100,000.00) ransom.
Lawal was travelling from Benin, Edo State, to Ibadan, Oyo State, for her primary assignment when she was abducted.
The kidnappers initially demanded Twenty Million Nàira (₦20,000,000.00) but later reduced it to Five Million Naira (₦5,000,000.00) after negotiations. Her family, however, managed to secure her release with ₦1.1 million.
Giving an update on the incident, Lawal’s friend identified as Agbakwara, who was privy to the incident, disclosed today that Aminat has regained her freedom.
