Frederick Aramuwa, a Lagos-based pastor, who was kidnapped while travelling along the Ipele/Idoani road in Ondo State has been found dead.
The pastor was said to be travelling from Lagos to his hometown in Ifira-Akoko, Ondo State, on March 31, when he went missing.
His family and relatives were said to have embarked on a search for him and also reported the matter to the police.
They got to know he was kidnapped, after his captors called to demand ₦10 million ransom, which was later reduced to ₦2 million after some negotiations.
Painfully, after the ₦2 million ransom was paid, it was his lifeless body that was found in the forest.
DSP Tee-Leo Ikoro, spokesperson of the Ondo State police command, confirmed the incident.
He said the pastor’s remains have been deposited in the morgue at the General Hospital, Ipe-Akoko.
