During a press briefing yesterday, the police in Owerri, the Imo state capital told reporters that Nkiru Sylvanus' family paid N8 million to the kidnappers before she was released on Thursday night.


According to the Commissioner of Police, Adisa Bolanta, the family did this without the knowledge of the police as they had been warned not to negotiate or deal directly with the kidnappers.


But somehow, Nkiru's family defied their orders.


The Commisioner said:


"They defied our warnings and continued negotiations with the kidnappers. They went behind us and paid N8 million to them. We have made some arrests in connection with the case and very soon they will all be apprehended."

A Nigerian police ready for combat

Police should do something to stop this kidnapping business because, nigeria is getting into if you cannot beat them,join them. This is how boko haram increase, kidnapping has increases already, do something before the whole youth of federal republic of nigeria involve. Nigerians don't dull their selves

Good business thou!

The comments here make one wonder if nigerians really know what is happening to their country.

People are glorifying criminality.
very pathetic.

That young woman will bear the scare of this ordeal for the rest of her life. One will not be surprised if she commits suicide in the near future because of the experience.

Yet people are here online glorifying the crime.

She might just have been infected with HIV for no fault of hers

Is it just me... But i didnt see where the story reported that she was raped.

You'd be joking to expect more from Nigerians unless it affects them personally will they desire the right thing. That's why our society is like this, sliding to ignominy.

Up next! Tonto Dike!!

What a lucrative bizness!

It is a logical assumption; I don't trust that those righteous kidnappers left her untouched.

Must we always be pessimistic in our thinking/way of doing things.

They went ahead with the negotiations and ransom because the people have lost their trust in the Nigerian police. Even when they're inept, they will still aver that they're on top of the situation. Well, the Ǧ☺☺ϑ thing is that he has her freedom now.

That's some money there.
