A source close to the family hinted that negotiation had been on and the family members were hopeful of the release of the Customs officer.

Meanwhile, villagers at Tisol in the Gassol Local Government Area of the state have chased away a group of gunmen suspected to be kidnappers who stormed the village at midnight in an attempt to kidnap some businessmen.
