Family members of a popular Kano Islamic scholar, Sheikh Abdullahi Shehu Mai’Annabi, who was kidnapped alongside his younger brother and 11 of his students enroute Zamfara State, 40 days ago, are worried as the deadline the kidnappers gave to pay ransom ends.
The kidnappers gave the family April 12 – 20, 2021 to raise N5m to balance up the N10m ransom they demanded to release nine people still in captivity.
Daily Trust had reported how the family was directed to pick the corpses of four of the victims after paying N5m to the kidnappers.
The oldest son of the cleric, Malam Isyaku, who was at Daily Trust office in Kano last week, could barely hold back his tears as he recounted the trauma the family has gone through since the abduction of his father in March.
