Douglas Oronto’s Sister: Family Begs Kidnappers to Accept N3m

Augusta Douglas-Ayam

The family of Senior Adviser to the President on Research, Documentation and Strategy, Mr. Oronto Douglas, has intensified negotiations with kidnappers of their sister, Augusta Douglas-Ayam.

Sources close to the family said that Augusta’s husband, Mr. Azibayam Apaga, had pleaded with the kidnappers to reduce the N10m ransom placed on his wife to N3m.

Augusta was last Monday, seized and whisked away to an unknown destination in the creeks by nine gunmen who were dressed in military fatigues.

The kidnappers, after keeping mum for about four days, eventually contacted Douglas-Ayam’s family on Thursday and demanded for N500m.

After failing to reach the Presidential adviser, the bandits reportedly slashed their initial demand of N500m ransom to N17m on Friday.

However, fresh facts emerged on Saturday that the kidnappers had reduced their ransom from N17m to N10m. It was gathered that the kidnappers came down to the N10m on Saturday morning while negotiating with Apaga.
