Kidnappers, who abducted Justice Faruku Hassan Bunza of the Kebbi State High Court, have demanded a N200 million ransom for his release, as security agencies intensify efforts to rescue the judge.

The latest development was disclosed on Monday by the Kebbi State Commissioner of Police, CP Umar Muhammad Hadejia, while briefing journalists in Birnin Kebbi on the ongoing rescue operation.

According to the police commissioner, intelligence available to the command indicated that the abductors contacted the judge’s family and demanded N200 million before releasing him.

Hadejia also revealed that the kidnappers reached out to a registrar of the High Court in Abuja as part of efforts to negotiate the ransom.

He said the command had deployed tactical and intelligence operatives, alongside other security personnel, to comb forests and suspected escape routes believed to have been used by the kidnappers.

The commissioner added that security had been reinforced through the establishment of checkpoints and intensified surveillance across strategic locations to prevent the abductors from moving the victim.

He expressed confidence that the ongoing operation would lead to the judge’s safe rescue and the arrest of those behind the abduction.

Hadejia urged residents to remain vigilant and support security agencies with credible information that could aid the rescue operation, assuring the public that the command remained committed to securing Justice Bunza’s freedom and bringing the perpetrators to justice.

The police commissioner also advised residents, particularly public officials and other prominent individuals, to avoid unnecessary night travel due to prevailing security challenges, noting that such movements often expose travellers to attacks by criminal elements.

The harvest is ripe,

And I am glad that it is now at the door step of those who pervert justice,

And will rather surrender everything at the alter of religion.

Kidnap kidnapping kidnappers what's happening in this country like this How's this rubbish going stop? Things like this don't happen in other African countries or Europe or Asia why only my beloved country Nigeria? Government should do something about it before it totally gets out of hand.

After the 200 million is finally paid, the State Governor will take his own share, the Azaman will take his own share, the middle man will take his own share then finally the kidnappers will take their own share.

Okpari!

Swap him for Justice Lifu

State Government should pay the ransome, what are they using security votes for , the day bandits realize what is called security vote money they went on rampage

Oxb90:
If he finally regains freedom tomorrow, I hope he is going to give judgment on kidnappers based on merit instead technicalities.
How can you give kidnappers life sentence

Dts if they release him even after paying ransom self….

i laugh in African way. the fight is going to there door step gradually, now they will do something about it. the reason why insecurity persist in Nigeria is because na only the masses they they see take.

Next time those judges wants to judge those kidnappers and bandit, they will judge based on experience
