“They kidnapped him on his way to a function three weeks ago and demanded a ransom. The sum of N10million was paid to the kidnappers. Still, they killed him. So sad,” the source lamented.

He has yet to respond to a text message inquiry even as he was reported earlier to have said that the police were not aware of the incident.
