Kidnappers of a popular nightclub owner, Tari Ajanamih, have reportedly released him, and have abducted his 38-years-old wife, Christiana, and his 74-years-old father who went to deliver N15million which is allegedly part of the N200million ransom the abductors demanded.
Nigerian Tribune gathered that the 43-years-old nightclub owner, Tari Ajanamih, was abducted a fortnight ago at his building site along the Otiotio area of the Bayelsa State capital and was on Thursday released at a ransom exchange point in Ahaoda Local Government Area of Rivers State.
The ransom exchange, it was further gathered occurred at about 11.45 pm, an arrangement kept away from the authorities of the Bayelsa State Police Command.
Thing went awry when the kidnappers insisted that the family complete the N200m ransom they initially demanded, and took the wife and father of the victim into their custody while the money is completed.
A close family source however expressed concern over the new development, revealing that the abducted wife of the club owner is known to have issues of High Blood Pressure and was not with her drugs at the point of her abduction.
The family source said “we are however waiting to hear from the kidnappers. We learnt their Satellite Mobile Phone gadget popularly referred to as Turaya phone fell into the water during the ransom exchange.
“You know N15m was taken to the ransom exchange point. The kidnappers collected the money and maybe held unto the wife and her father in order to demand more money from the victim. We plead with the kidnappers to tamper justice with mercy.”
Attempts to confirm the release of the club owner and the abduction of his wife and father proved abortive as officials of the police command claimed all they were hearing about the abduction drama were hearsays.
A police source said “he has been released but we have not been officially informed. He should have come forward for de-brief.”
Another senior police source however said though the police have deployed resources to investigate, rescue and arrest those involved in the case but “we don’t have the logistics and vehicles needed. For a state like Bayelsa, we only have one vehicle and some dilapidated ones to combat crimes in the state. All other vehicles are handed to the State security outfit, Door Akpor, due to political patronage.”
Nigerian Tribune earlier reported that the Kidnappers demanded the sum of N200million for the release of Tari Ajanamih, the owner of the popular nightclub known as Club 64 Lifestyle.
Ajanamih is the 43 years old owner of the popular nightclub known as club 64 along the Bay ridge area of the State capital and he is also working as a cash officer with the Wema bank.
