Kidnappers of the 80-years-old Mother of the Secretary to Bayelsa State Government, Madam Betinah Benson, has demanded the sum of N500million for her release.

Also, another set of kidnappers have demanded the sum of N200million for the release of one Mr Tari Ajanamih, the owner of a popular nightclub known as Club 64.

Tribune Online gathered that investigators into the two abductions are already looking at the possibility that the two abductions were planned by the same group of kidnappers.

While both abductions occurred few days from each other, the demand for ransom also allegedly occurred few hours apart.

Although the police is yet to confirm the report but a member of the family of the abducted nightclub owner who pleaded anonymity confirmed that the family have been contacted by the kidnappers for ransom.

“It was shocking when they were demanding for N200million. I hope and pray that they release our brother unhurt.”

It would be recalled that the Bayelsa SSG’s mother was kidnapped for the second time in eight years last month, at her residence in the Old Assembly Quarters, Yenagoa.

Her abductors were said to have been dressed in military camouflage.

Also, gunmen last month abducted a popular nightclub owner identified as Tari Ajanami.

Tari Ajanamih, an indigene of Ayamasa town in Ekeremor local government area of the State was abducted at about at his building project site along Otiotio Road in the state capital.

Ajanamih is the 43 years old owner of the popular nightclub known as club 64 along the Bayridge area of the State capital and he is also working as a cash officer with Wema bank.
