Abductors of Katsina Shari’a Court Judge, Alkali Hussein Samaila, have demanded N30m, Android phone and call cards to release him.

Investigations by The Nation revealed the abductors relayed their demands through a phone conversation with the judge’s wife

The wife of the Judge also disclosed the kidnappers reduced the ransom from N50m ransom to N30m after much bargaining.

They also demanded the family should also buy them an Android phone and credit cards of unspecified amount

The Nation recalled the Katsina Police Command had blamed the Sharia Court Judge for creating an enabling environment that led to his abduction by bandits in Baure-Zaka villages in Safana Local Government Area of Katsina State

The Public Relations Officer, Superintendent Gambo Isah, had also described the Judge’s visit to the area at that material time as “uncalled-for’’.
