After initially demanding for 15 million Naira, the househelp who ran off with the 3 Orekoya boys has demanded for 13 million Naira, threatening to kill the kids if it's not produced within 48 hours.
According to Punch, the victims’ father, Leke, told our correspondent that the family received a text message from the kidnappers on Friday afternoon, saying the children’s life depended on the payment of the ransom within 24 hours of the ultimatum. Although, this was later reviewed to 48 hours.
“They said we should produce the money in 24 hours or they would ‘delete’ our kids.Our major concern is our 11 months old baby who needs extra care.”
Their mother, Adebisi, said the incident had started affecting her mentally.She appealed to Nigerians of goodwill to support the family with funds, adding that the family could not afford to pay the ransom.
“I called the line of the nanny and a man picked the call. He initially demanded N15m, but after I begged him, he agreed to take N13m.
“We have been exchanging text messages and he has insisted on N13m. He has also assured us that we have no other option than to pay the money.
“I spoke with the children and they said the kidnappers were treating them well and that they were doing fine.
“I’m sure if they get the money today, they will release my children to me. All they need is the money.
“I appeal to the government, politicians in the country, Nigerians of goodwill to please help us before it is too late.
“After my children have been released to me, the police can then begin their investigation.”
The Orekoya family reportedly had agreed before the kidnap to a monthly salary of N10,000 to N15,0000 with Akinloye, who claimed to be looking for money to continue her education.
