The monarch, Oba Joel Daodu, was kidnapped on Easter Saturday alongside one of his prominent chiefs.
Abductors of the Ondo monarch, who was seized on Easter Saturday, are now demanding N5 million for his release as against N15 million they initially asked for.
Oba Joel Daodu, the Oniyani of Iyani-Akoko in Ondo State was reportedly abducted alongside one of his prominent chiefs, John Afelumo, near Oba-Akoko, on the Owo-Ikare Road.
A prominent traditional ruler and the Akala of Ikaram-Akoko, Oba Andrew Momodu, condemned Daodu's kidnapping, saying it is an abomination to abduct a monarch, who he said are custodians of traditions and representatives of the Creator of the universe.
