One suspect, Prince Enyenihi, 25, has been arrested for attempting to extort the reporters family. He had sent a text message to Salem’s wife with a concealed number demanding N100 million as ransom.
His message read in part, “If you don’t pay, Tordue will be killed in seven days. For more information, call this number.”
During interrogation, Enyenihi said he got Salem’s wife’s number from a flyer which declared him missing.
