The abductors had initially demanded a ransom for the release of the captives. However, tensions escalated when it was discovered that the amount paid by the family was deemed incomplete.

It was gathered that the perpetrators, dissatisfied with the partial payment, resorted to beating the Sarkin Fili into a state of unconsciousness.

In an interview with Daily Trust on Tuesday, December 5, Aisha Peter, the wife of the chief, revealed that her husband had been released two days later after she failed to raise a ransom of N100m. She mentioned that her husband was severely beaten by his abductors because she could only gather and raise N8m.
