Abductors kill retired Major after collecting N10m ransom
The Kogi State Police Command has confirmed the death of a retired Army Major, Joe Ajayi, in the hands of his abductors after the payment of N10 million ransom by his family for his release.
SP Williams Ovye-Aya, the spokesman for the command, confirmed this on Monday in Lokoja.
Ajayi, 76, was kidnapped from his residence in Odo-Ape, Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi on May 21.
Ovye-Aya said that the remains of the deceased retired army officer had been recovered and deposited at the Kabba Specialist Hospital mortuary, according to the Bunu Leaders Forum.
He, however, assured that the command would leave no stone unturned in unravelling those behind the dastardly act and arrest them as well as make them face the wrath of the law.
