UNIMAID Don Abducted In Error, Captors Reduce Demand To N5m
Abductors
of Dr Abba Kagu, an associate professor of Geography at the University
of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), are demanding a ransom of N5 million for his
release.
The
don was picked on Saturday evening at the Federal Low cost housing
estate in Maiduguri by kidnappers who mistook him for someone else.
A source close to the family said: “The abductors mistook him for a brother in law of a prominent politician in Borno State.
“Initially,
they demanded for N100m but when they realized that they picked the
wrong person, they demanded for N5 million…insisting he cannot go free,”
the source, who pleaded anonymity said.
Meanwhile,
Kagu’s family have intensified their prayers for his safe return and
urged their acquaintances to also join them in praying for his return.
