ONE of the kidnappers of the three Dutch nationals, weekend, in Lutugbene, Ekeremor Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, has been allegedly shot dead by suspected pirates, just as the kidnap gang has reportedly demanded N20 million ransom to free the victims.
A source told Vanguard, yesterday, that the kidnappers ran into the sea pirates, who attacked them, as they were escaping with the Dutch nationals to their den in the creek.
The Coalition of Swamp /Coastal Oil Producing Communities of Bayelsa and Delta States, has, however, given the kidnappers a 24-hour ultimatum to release the victims or Ijaw gods would go after them.
