Channels TV reporter kidnapped, abductors demand N50m ransom
A Channels TV reporter, Friday Okeregbe who covers the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, has been kidnapped.
It was learnt that Okeregbe was kidnapped along Games Village in Abuja while on his way from his mechanic’s workshop.
Meanwhile, sources close to Okeregbe’s family confirmed that the kidnappers have demanded a ransom of N50m saying they’re aware he works for Channels TV.
The Police, Channels Television and the family are all yet to issue a statement or discuss the incident with the media.
It was gathered that Okeregbe’s wife first suspected something was amiss when she hadn’t seen or heard from her husband as of 8pm on Friday, which was very unusual.
“The family has been in pains since the ransom demand was made, as it has no means of raising the required N50million,” a source said.
