Kidnappers of the Independent National Election Commission, INEC, staff in Jigawa State have demanded 500,000 ransom for his freedom.
Father to the kidnapped victim, Malam Mahadi Kofar Wambai, revealed to DAILY POST that the kidnappers demanded 500,000 before they could free the victim.
He explained that the kidnappers contacted him through a telephone call on Saturday and demanded the amount on the following day and threatened to kill him if we fail to comply with the arrangement.
“They demanded 500,000 as ransom or kill him if we fail to give the said amount on the following day,” he said.
Malam Mahadi said that on Sunday he paid the said amount to the kidnappers but they failed to release him.
