I didn’t sleep for almost twelve days” Luis Manuel Diaz was quoted by the overseas media. The kidnappers asked him to keep calm. According to him, they treated him well, and although he did not feel safe, he does not plan to leave his homeland.

“My desire is to stay in my city. The government has given me support and I believe it will also ensure my safety,” Diaz Sr. added. Colombian police identified and arrested four suspects on Saturday.
