A source disclosed that after the ransom was paid, the terrorists released the younger son, Caleb, and demanded two motorcycles and N200,000 mobile recharge cards to release the eldest one, Derrick, on Sunday.
He said that the slain lecturer’s remains would soon be interred following the release of his children
