Despite collecting N2million ransom, the kidnappers of six family members of a Councillor in Abuja have refused to set their them free.

The victims happen to be family members of the newly elected councillor representing Yangoji in the Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Idris Ibrahim.

The N2million was taken to the kidnappers last Thursday, April 14, but they refused to release the victims.
