They called me with their line; they asked me to pay N4 million.
Bandits are demanding N4 million as a ransom to secure the release of a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member who was abducted within the Zamfara State.
Recalled on Friday, armed bandits reportedly abducted eight members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) along a highway within Zamfara State.
Emmanuel Etteh, the father of one of the victims, Glory Thomas, confirmed the latest development to Channels Television during a telephone conversation on Friday.
Etteh stated that the bandits contacted him using their phone number to inform him about the abduction of his daughter and demanded a payment of N4 million for her release.
“They called me with their line; they asked me to pay N4 million. I spoke with my daughter because I asked how they wanted us to pay; she said we should contact the AKTC,” the troubled father said.
“Since that time, they have not called and I have not spoken with my daughter. I don’t know if they have released them but my daughter has not called me.”
Meanwhile, the police command in Zamfara State has not provided any comments regarding the abduction.
