The kidnappers of Chief Inengite Nitabai, cousin to President Goodluck Jonathan have reportedly rejected the N30m offered by his family for his release.

Chief Nitabai, a former lecturer at the Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt was abducted penultimate Sunday at his Otuoke country home in Ogbia local government area of Bayelsa State by ten armed men.

The kidnapped chief is the traditional head of the compound from which the President hails from.

Nitabai, it was also learnt has been acting like a father to the President since Jonathan’s real biological father died, it was further learnt.

The abductors, it would be recalled, had contacted the victim’s family four days after he was whisked away demanding a whooping sum of N500m as ransom to set him free.

A source close to the Nitabai family discloses to us that the troubled family instead offered to pay his abductors N30m which they rejected.

“They (kidnappers) rejected the N30m offer which they described as laughable coming from a family linked to the President,” the source said.
