Kabiru recalled that the chief Imam was earlier abducted in 2017 by unknown men, adding that he had to pay N13 million ransom before he could be released.

“But this time around, no ransom has been paid and we will soon get the suspects as our men will not leave any stone unturned for any criminal in this state.”

The commissioner advised the parents and guardians to monitor closely their children, especially minors while sending them on errand, either in the day or night.
