Kidnappers have contacted the families of the 14 abducted workers of the Zaria local council demanding  ransom ranging from N15m, N20m to  N100m for their release.

 

Speaking for the Coalition of Northern Groups, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman confirmed in Abuja on Saturday, that it has come to our notice that the abductors had made contact with their families separately on Friday.

 

We aware that the kidnappers have assured families that the captives would be safely returned if the demands are met

 

“With this unfolding scenario, the CNG headquarters has resolved to direct its Kaduna State students’ wing to put its planned mass protest on hold, so as not to disrupt the fresh development.

 

“We assure affected families, particularly the aggrieved students, who are in solidarity with their fellows, whose parents are among the victims, that CNG would remain vigilant, concerning the direction the situation would turn, until their parents are brought back alive.

 

“We, however, frown at the discouraging silence by the authorities in the past four days, since the captives, who are legitimate government workers, were abducted while carrying out an official assignment,” he said. The group called for special prayers for safe return of all victims currently in captivity anywhere.
