But his driver, who escaped from the four kidnappers sustained injury.
A ranking council official, who spoke on condition of anonymity on Tuesday, said the kidnappers called Bamigbetan’s wife and demanded $1m ransom.
He said, “The kidnappers called the chairman’s wife around 2.30am on Tuesday. She is the only one they (kidnappers) have established communication with. They however warned her against letting the police into the matter.
