Android phone, call cards and the sum of N30million have been demanded as ransom by abductors of Katsina Shari’a court judge, Alkali Hussein Samaila.
WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that the abductors relayed their demands through a phone conversation with the judge’s wife.
According to the wife of the judge, the kidnappers reduced the ransom from N50m ransom to N30m after much bargaining.
The abductors also requested that the family should also buy them an Android phone and credit cards of unspecified amount
Recall that the Katsina Police Command had blamed the Sharia Court Judge for creating an enabling environment that led to his abduction by bandits in Baure-Zaka villages in Safana Local Government Area of Katsina State
The Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Gambo Isah, had also described the Judge’s visit to the area at that material time as “uncalled-for’’.
