Gbenga Ibikunle and his wife were returning from Ebonyi State last week when they were kidnapped by gunmen.
The police had promised to rescue then unhurt, while the abductors demanded a ransom of N10million.
But on Saturday, the couple regained their freedom after spending about four days in captivity.
The police quickly announced their release, claiming it was made possible by the efforts of the police, NSCDC, the military and Amotekun Corps.
”We heard they were asking for N20 million ransom, but we are not interested in that. We rescued the couple and we are going to get the perpetrators,” Leo Tee-Ikoro, the police spokesperson, said.
But Mr Ibikunke told journalists in Akure on Monday that no security agency was involved in securing their release.
He said N2 million was paid to their abductors before they were released.
“I am surprised with the claims that we were rescued by the police,” he said.
“This is nothing but a lie coming from the pit of hell.
“I can say it boldly that, no security agency came to our rescue. We were released around 1 a.m. after ransom was paid to them.
“They collected the ransom along the road without being jittery. In fact, they counted all the money before they released me to my brother, who brought the N2 million.
“We were in the bush with them for three good days without food. They treated us like criminals. They beat us with stick and cutlass. We met a man in their den, who was also released the same way we were. His own family parted with N10 million before he was released.
“At a point they wanted to rape my wife, but she tricked them that she was pregnant.”
Mr Ibikunle also said his abductors were Fulanis and lamented that “Nigeria is in a big mess.”
“We don’t have security in this country anymore. It is sad that our security agencies are not effective. The kidnappers carried out their operations with impunity. They boasted that they will kill any policeman that wanted to rescue us,” he added.
“I am weeping for this country because we are not safe. We can no longer travel.”
