According to the clergyman identified with the X handle, @GideonOdoma, the church member was abducted last month, and the kidnappers demanded five motorcycles worth over ₦2 million
In his tweet that has gone viral online, he shared his response to the kidnappers, while keeping the identity of the church member undisclosed.

This is the same bike they demanded from us last month, when they kidnapped one of our members. Each of that bike is over 2m Naira and the evil monsters were demanding for five. Like 5 bikes.
I told the negotiator to tell the beasts that if the brother’s family could afford such a ransom, would he be in the sort of public vehicle from whence they kidnapped him?.
People with that kind of money don’t travel on such roads as passengers in public buses. 5 bikes, how?.Nigeria! See, this is not how to be a nation.
The tweet follows a claim by another X user that bandits reportedly held peace talks across five local government areas.
