Chief Inengite Nitabai Jonathan
72-year-old Chief Inengite Nitabai Jonathan, the foster father of
former president, Goodluck Jonathan, who was kidnapped on February 17,
for the second time in two years, and regained his freedom on March 23,
after spending 35 days in captivity, has revealed that his abductors
took very good care of him.
Speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Bayelsa on Friday, he
disclosed that his abductors gave him a preferential treatment before
setting him free, adding that he was allowed to open his face while
others were blindfolded.
"I was properly taken care of by the kidnappers. I ate three
square meals daily, my drugs were administered to me appropriately by
the boys," he said.
He said they even asked other kidnapped victims to pay obeisance to him as the only person who was untouchable in the camp. "Before
they agreed to treat me well, they argued among themselves from my
house till we got to their hideout, but on getting to the camp they
resolved the issue."
As at the time of filing this report, it is unclear if a ransom was
paid for his release, as Asinim Butswat, public relations officer of
the Bayelsa state police command refrained from discussing details of
Inengite’s freedom.
