ORONTO DOUGLAS: Kidnappers reduce ransom from N500m to N10m

• We can’t pay more than N3m — Family
The kidnappers of Augusta Douglas-Ayam, the sister of Oronto Douglas, Special Adviser to the President on Research and Documentation, have reduced the ransom for her release from N500m to N10m.
It was however reliably learnt that the negotiator for the family told the kidnappers that they could only part with N3m.
The ailing woman was abducted from her store last Monday night at about 8.30pm by nine armed men alleged clad in army camouflage and whisked away at Ogbia town in Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa State to an unknown destination in the creeks.
Though the whereabouts of Mrs Augusta Douglas-Ayam were unknown, the kidnappers reportedly contacted her husband, Mr. Azibayam, at about 2am on Thursday asking for N500m.
