Bandits kill FIRS manager after collecting N7 million ransom

Despite paying N7 million ransom to secure his release, bandits have murdered Shila Ojebola, a Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) staff.

Mr Ojebola, 47, was recently promoted to a manager at the FIRS’ Medium & Small Tax Office in Lugbe, sources said.

The promotion was said to have come when Mr Ojebola was in the bandits’ camp after he was kidnapped along Abuja-Kaduna Highway about three weeks ago.
