Abductors of the Emir of Kajaru, Alhassan Adamu have issued a demand of N200 million ransom payment for his release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ripples Nigeria had reported that the monarch<\/a> was kidnapped in the wee hours of Sunday along with 13 of his family members, including two grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This ransom demand was disclosed by the spokesperson of the Kajuru Emirate Council, Dahiru Abubakar on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mr Abubakar, the bandits also gave assurances that all the victims are in good condition and were not being molested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said, \u201cthe council is still appealing to the bandits to release the 85-year-old monarch and his relatives unconditionally, especially given his fragile health condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to security sources within the local government, one bandit was reportedly killed and some others injured in a shootout with soldiers during the attack on the Emir\u2019s palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sources said the bandits, numbering over 200, arrived at the community on motorcycles in the early hours of Sunday morning through a nearby forest that stretches through the Kaduna-Abuja highway in Kachia local government area, and started shooting sporadically, before they were engaged by soldiers that were deployed to the area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
