KIDNAPPERS OF ORONTO DOUGLAS’ SISTER DEMAND N500M

Kidnappers of Augusta Douglas-Ayam, elder sister to the Senior Special Adviser to the President on Research, Documentation and Strategy, Mr. Oronto Douglas, on Thursday opened up communication with the family.
A family source told our correspondent that Douglas-Ayam’s captors had contacted her husband and demanded N500m to free the 48-year-old woman.
A nine-man gang, dressed in military uniform, abducted Douglas-Ayam on Monday night at her shop in Ogbia town, headquarters of Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, before the gunmen sped away with her in a speedboat stationed at Ogbia waterside.
But four days after keeping the family in suspense, the kidnappers contacted the woman’s husband and asked for N500m.
The source, who pleaded anonymity, said efforts by the family to contact the kidnappers again through the number they used to call the husband had not been successful.
