The kidnappers had earlier demanded a ransom of N75m while the family and friends of the abducted victims pleaded to cough up N15 million.

The Anglican priest, who hailed from Ikaram-Akoko and his family members, were abducted along the Ise Akoko-Iboropa road in Akoko North-East Local Government Area of Ondo State.

It was gathered that the Ẹgbẹ Akọ́mọlédè in the state which the wife of the cleric is a member, had asked its members to raise N10m as ransom to the kidnappers.

A Bishop of Akoko Anglican Diocese, Rev. Babajide Bada, who confirmed the kidnap of the four victims, said the incident happened last Sunday between 4:00p.m and 5:30p.m.

“The man involved is Reverend Olowolagba. He was travelling from Ipesi, with his wife, Mrs Olowolagba, and their 16-year-old daughter, Goodness Olowolagba, a 100-level student of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba- Akoko (AAUA), who came for holiday at home, and a nine-year-old girl staying with them, identified as Idowu”.
