The Department of State Services, DSS, are reportedly negotiating with kidnappers, who abducted an operative in the Abaji Area Council of Abuja, after they demanded the sum of N20million as a ransom for his release.
WITHIN NIGERIA had reported that gunmen last week invaded the community in their numbers and kidnapped a DSS operative after attacking the secret police outpost in the area.
The gunmen successfully kidnapped DSS operative during the exchange of gunshots but the spokesman of the service denied the report.
According to Daily Trust, a member of the victim’s family said contact was established with the abductors two days after the incident.
He added that the gunmen demanded N20million as ransom.
“They (the DSS) are still negotiating with them (the abductors) despite their (the abductors) insistence on the N20million ransom,” he said.
