365news gathered that Four villagers from the Kolo hamlet in the state’s Gusau Local Government Area have been abducted by bandits operating in Zamfara State.
A guy, a woman, and two children—both of whom are reportedly orphans—were among the victims of the kidnapping, it was learned.
A member of the village named Musa Ibrahim said that the robbers initially demanded N10 million as ransom before releasing the individuals who had been kidnapped, but subsequently agreed to take N5 million instead.
“As we were putting heads together to see how we could raise the five million naira through community effort, the terrorists sent a message on Tuesday that they would not collect old Naira notes,” he lamented.
According to him, the bandits insisted that the kidnapped victims will remain in their den until the month of December, 2022, when the new Naira notes would be in circulation.
All efforts to confirm the development from the State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Mohammed Shehu proved abortive as he could not pick his calls.
