Bandits, who abducted the wife and two daughters of a lecturer with the Federal College of Education (Technical) Gusau in Zamfara State, Dr ABDURRAZAK MUAZU, have demanded N50 million ransom.
A family member, MOHAMMED JAMILU, said that the bandits have called and informed them that they needed the sum of N100 million but later reduced the amount to N50 million.
JAMILU, however, explained that negotiation was still ongoing, stressing that the amount was outrageous.
Some gunmen suspected to be bandits, last Friday, kidnapped the three family members.
The wife, BINTA UMAR JABAKA and the two daughters were kidnapped in their house, in Mareri village the outskirts of Gusau town, the state capital at about one o'clock in the night on Friday.
