However, the kidnappers reportedly contacted him shortly afterward, demanding a ransom of N1 million for the release of his daughter.
Aremu swiftly complied to their request by transferring the ransom demanded by the captors to an Opay account provided by the kidnappers who had earlier given him a UBA account.
