The bandits who kidnapped a businesswoman, Roselyn Edusi, and her colleague, Alphonsus Chinedu, have contacted their individual families, demanding N100 million as ransom.
Sources close to one of the affected families told MSN on Tuesday the abductors threatened to shoot the captives if the families do not respond on time.
MSN gathered that the families have been running from pillar to post to source for funds to pay their ransom.
Edusi, who is the proprietress of a restaurant at Omu, in the Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area of the state, was accompanied by Alphonsus Chinedu to a farm in the area when they were kidnapped.
The abduction reportedly happened on Saturday afternoon.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the incident to newsmen.
He said the command had launched a manhunt to track the perpetrators and rescue the victims from their abductors
