Kidnappers release ex-Information minister’s three nephews after receiving ransom

Kidnappers release ex-Information minister’s three nephews after receiving ransom

 

Three nephews of a former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, who were kidnapped by gunmen have regained their freedom after payment of an undisclosed.

A report by Daily Trust quoted a relation of the victims, Mr Michael Danjuma, as confirming that the captives were released Tuesday night, June 20, after undisclosed amount was paid to the abductors as ransom.

Danjuma also said that the three released victims would need to be examined by a doctor owing to the untold hardship they were compelled to go through in the hands of their abductors.

He, however, expressed worry that the family members of the three victims were forced to pay the ransom because of the recurrent bandit attacks on the family.

Daily Trust recalled that two years ago, two children of the same father of these three children were killed in their home in the Gudi area of Akwanga Local Government Area of the state by bandits who stormed the house at night.
