Abductors of the Kebbi State High Court Judge, Justice Faruku Bunza, have demanded N200 million for his release.
Kebbi State Commissioner of Police, Umar Hadejia, and brother of the abducted judge, Malami Bunza, confirmed this to journalists in Birnin Kebbi on Tuesday.
Hadejia said the police received intelligence on the demand after launching a swift response to the judge’s abduction, which occurred in the early hours of Sunday at his residence along Zogirma Road in Bunza.
He said he has deployed a combined team of police operatives to comb suspected escape routes used by the kidnappers in a bid to rescue the judge unharmed and apprehend those responsible.
