A Kano cleric, Sheikh Abdullahi Shehu Mai Annabi, who was kidnapped alongside 12 other people on their way to Zamfara State to attend Maulud in Anka town, is still being held, Daily Trust gathered.
The son of the cleric, Isyaku Abdullahi Shehu, said the cleric, with 12 other members of his team, including his brothers and students, all from Rimin Kebe area of Ungogo Local Government Area of Kano, were kidnapped about three weeks ago around Sheme town of Katsina State by gunmen who demanded a ransom of N10 million from the family.
He said they initially demanded N15 million but after negotiation, the kidnappers agreed to collect N10 million.
“We have already gathered and submitted N5 million to the kidnappers. But when we got to the place they directed us to go and pick our people, they only brought four dead bodies of them.
“When we asked them why they killed them, they said we must give the agreed N10 million for them to release our father and the other nine people, or else they will also tell us where to go and pick their corpses.
“We couldn’t even carry the corpses because they had already decomposed. We had to bury them there,” he said.
