Kidnappers are demanding a N10 million ransom after abducting a tailor, Mary Adi, in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory .

Ms Adi, a native of Cross River, left home on Sunday afternoon for a friend’s place but could not be located afterward until the kidnappers called to demand the ransom. Speaking to PREMIUM TIMES on Monday, a boss to Ms Adi relation, Cherish Ogenyi, confirmed the incident. Mr Ogenyi said he had the privilege to speak with the kidnappers because he could communicate in Hausa.

“She is a tailor, she left the house at 3 p.m. yesterday . The mother called her at 7 p.m. to buy sugar for house use on her way back home. Later that night, all efforts to reach her mobile number failed until this morning that the number started going through.When my staff got the phone, she pleaded with me to speak to them since I can speak Hausa. It was the Fulani accent that I was hearing. They refused to tell me their location. I pretended to be a relative of the lady.

Mr Ogenyi said he pleaded with the abductors to review the amount downward but all his entreaties fell on deaf ears.Meanwhile, on Monday evening, a relation to the victim, Janet Odule, said the case had been reported to the police. She said the kidnappers made further contact and announced their readiness to accept the N200,000 offer.
