Father Confirms Families Have Received Refunds for Ransom Paid for Freed Corps Members

Obasanjo Wahab, the father of one of the freed corps members, has confirmed that families who paid ransom during the victims’ ordeal have received refunds.

According to a report by News Central TV on Saturday, October 10, 2026, Wahab disclosed that the money paid by the families had been returned following the release of the affected corps members.

Wahab confirmed the refunds but declined to provide further details about how the ransom payments were made or the arrangements put in place to return the money.

He did not explain when the refunds were processed, which families had received their money or whether the payments were returned directly to the affected families through a particular arrangement.

Despite withholding details about the financial transactions, Wahab urged Nigerians to commend the government for securing the release of the victims.

His appeal focused on the outcome of the incident, with the father encouraging the public to recognise the authorities’ role in ensuring that the corps members regained their freedom.

The reported refunds represent another development following the release of the victims, particularly for families who had parted with money during the ordeal.
