Kidnappers of the 70 year old foster father and uncle of President Goodluck Jonathan Inengite Nitabai, have recently demanded a sum of N500m.

There has been tension among the family members for the three silent days of his abduction before the kidnappers were able to make contact with them."The kidnappers contacted the family four days after and demanded a whopping sum of N500m. It is believed that the family of the victim has begun negotiations with the hoodlums," he said.
