The gunmen who abducted a former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), retired General Maharazu Tsiga, have demanded a ransom of N250 million for his release.
A source close to the family, who preferred to remain anonymous, confirmed that the kidnappers had contacted the family with their demand.
Tsiga was reportedly abducted alongside nine other residents in a coordinated attack that took place around midnight on Wednesday.
More than 100 gunmen were said to have surrounded his residence before whisking him away.
The member representing Bakori/Danja Federal Constituency in Katsina State, Abdullahi Balarabe Dabai, informed journalists that the assailants forcefully entered the house by breaking doors.
