The abductors behind the kidnap of six persons from the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) staff quarters have reportedly demanded a sum of N300m ransom from their families.
“They are asking for N300 million collectively. I’m not aware if they were given a deadline to pay or not,” Habib Yakoob, UNIABUJA spokesman, told TheCable.
Mustapha Sambo, son of one of the abducted persons, also revealed that the abductors told his family to provide N100 million ransom after they took his father away.
“They took our phones and his wallet. Then they said they need money. When we said there was no money at home, they took him and said we must bring N100 million before they release him,” he said.
The bandits on Tuesday, had invaded the staff quarters of the university, abducting a professor of economics, Obansa Joseph, two of his children, and three other persons.
