Gunmen Abduct Businessman, Son, Demand N7m Ransom In Kaduna

A 45-years-old man, Mustapha Idrisu and his nine years old son, in Mararaban Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State, have been abducted by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers three days after he bought an 18 seater bus for N3.5 million.

Mallam Yunusa Idris, a resident of Mararaban Kajuru community, told Daily Post on Monday, March 14, 2022, that the victim borrowed the money from friends and relatives, including his personal saving, and bought the vehicle for commercial purposes, but was kidnapped alongside his son, three days after.

“The man has been into business. He decided to buy an 18 seater bus for commercial business. Unfortunately, he was kidnapped with his son in the night, three days after,” Idris said.

“The kidnappers demanded N10 million Naira ransom. After much negotiations, they asked for N7million Naira. The bus which was bought for N3.5 million Naira was sold for N2 million Naira, and when the money was taken to kidnappers, they only released his nine years son, while insisting that N5 million must be paid before they release him.”

He said the Maraban community is helpless as kidnappers on regular basis keep terrorising residents of the community.
