The newspaper quoted a resident of Sabo Birni as saying:  “They abducted a daughter of one man in our village and when he could not raise the money, they asked him to bring 10 measures of rice to collect the girl and they kept their promises,” the resident said.

Another resident of the state said: “They initially demanded N15 million before later agreeing to accept N600,000,” he reportedly said.

“They asked his employer, who is my friend, to use the money to buy bags of rice, crates of energy drinks, cartons of spaghetti, cigarettes and bring the remaining change to them.

“The man is still trying to raise the money.”
