“They demanded a ransom of N250 million, but unfortunately, we heard that a different gang has taken him over after settling the initial kidnap gang, and the new captors are demanding N500 million ransom; so he is still in captivity”, the source said.
Another source from Tsiga’s family confirmed that the former NYSC DG is Alive as they have remained in touch with his abductors.
He, however, noted that efforts are being made from different levels to ensure his safe return home.
“He hasn’t been released…However, the good news is that he is alive and the family is in touch with his abductors. It shall be well,” the family source said.
Another source added, “He ought to have been released by now if not for some glitches which are being managed.”
