Dr. Omololu Bello, Kennedy Ucheagwu, Fidelis Esang and their trainer Coach Oni were whisked away by gunmen in military camouflages while on routine exercise near Lekki Gardens Estate.
Initially, the gunmen demanded N300million as ransom for each of them but the amount was later reduced to N20m. Police have tracked the guys and their messenger identified as "Mary", from the telephone number they used in contacting victims’ relatives.
The Nation reports that security would have rescued the victims two days after the abduction, but had hitches as the kidnappers were also changing their location.
