One of the victims of the March 21 kidnapping incident in Mpape, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, has refuted claims by the FCT Police Command that security operatives rescued them, insisting that their freedom came only after a ₦2.5 million ransom was paid.
The victim, who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons, stated that neither the police nor any security agency played a role in their release.
