Nelson Adepoyigi, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Ondo State district of Ifon, who was kidnapped at his home a few days ago, was reportedly killed by his abductors.
However, the kidnappers reportedly paid ransom for the release of Adepoyigi by offering them five million naira and food.
Initial demands for 100 million were made by the kidnappers, who later reduced that figure to 5 million with foodstuffs.
Additionally, they demanded a new ransom of $ 30 million for the two captives, including Adepoyigi and the two ransom bearers, after they had already taken the other two people.
Hon. Ose Local Government Area Chairman Barr . Oluwaseun Ogunniyi, Clement Kolapo Ojo’s media aide, released a statement on Saturday that confirmed the development.

While we are appreciative that the two volunteers have now reclaimed their freedom, Nelson Adepoyigi’s life was brutally squandered by his captors, according to the statement.
The entire Ose Local Government’s leadership and staff are grieving this tragic loss. The family, friends, and political figures of the deceased receive our sincere condolences.
“Security issues are now a serious threat to the safety and freedom of our people,” the statement read. Another resident was just a few days before this incident when he was parking his motorcycle.
This pattern of brutal abductions, even at the homes of people, confirms that insecurity has taken on a dangerous and intolerable level.
We urge people to remain vigilant, immediately report suspicious activity to the nearest security post, and unite as we work together to combat this threat.
