Alhaji Hassan: Abductors of Abuja traditional ruler demand N20m ransom
Abductors of the traditional ruler of Bukpe community in Kwali area council of the Federal Capital Territory, (FCT), Alhaji Hassan, have demanded N20m ransom from the family members.
Hassan was abducted from his palace when gunmen stormed his residence on Wednesday night, 30 March, 2022.
When Daily Trust visited the community on Sunday, a family member of the traditional ruler, who preferred anonymity, said the kidnappers have vowed not to release him until they get N20 million.
“In fact, even on Saturday, morning, they called and directed the family to go and sell his house so that they can raise N20m ransom for them,” he said.
“One of the family members that they were communicating with told them that even house the chief is residing in is not worth N5 million,”.
According to him, the leader of the kidnappers threatened to keep the monarch in their custody even if it takes a year to raise the N20 million ransom.
