In another audio leaked on social media allegedly from a family member, the same male voice is heard harshly negotiating with a female relative on a number of issues including; the ransom and secrecy from police or any other security agency.
“Where have you reached with our agreement?” the male voice starts.
“We are working on it sir,” the alleged family member replies.
“Where have you reached?” the male voice interrupts.
“The money you asked sir, I am about to raise all of it sir,” the family member says.
“Hasn’t Magara (John Fitzegerald) returned?” the male voice asks angrily.
“Magara has returned sir,” the family member replies.
