The gunmen who abducted 87-
year-old American woman
missionary, Phyllis Sortor , have
reduced their ransom demand for
her release from N60 million to
N30 million, an aide of hers said.
The aide, Jacob Ahiaba, informed
newsmen about the new
development at Emi Woro
community in Ajaokuta Local
Government Area on Wednesday.
Ahiaba said Sortor told him via
telephone, that the gunmen had
reduced their demand to N30
million and asked that efforts be
made to get the money to secure
her release as soon as possible.
The Commissioner of Police in Kogi,
Adeyemi Ogunjemilusi, confirmed
that the abductors had actually
established contact with members
of the church and asked for N30
million ransom.
The commissioner, who on
Wednesday visited the scene of the
incident, said that efforts were
being made to rescue her.
Meanwhile, the state governor,
Idris Wada, has condemned the
kidnapping of the American.

the action as barbaric and
uncivilised and enjoined the police
and other security agencies to
immediately secure her release.
Sortor was kidnapped at 10: 10 AM
