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.
