As kidnappers demand N50 million and five motorcycles for abducted lawyer, immediate past President of the Muslim Lawyers Association of Nigeria (MULAN), Barrister Saidu Muhammad Tuduwada, has appealed to Nigerian security agencies to intensify efforts to rescue him.
Barrister Hashim was abducted by bandits while returning from a MULAN conference in Kano on Monday.
However, Muhammad told DAILY POST on Wednesday that security agencies should go the extra mile in rescuing their colleague, who was kidnapped unjustly.
He noted that the kidnappers initially demanded N200 million for the lawyer’s release, but later reduced the demand to about N100 million, and eventually settled for N50 million and five Boxer model motorcycles as conditions for his release.
“We know that the Nigerian security agencies are today on top of the activities of the criminals, and we are aware that they have the know-how to get him out and we are counting on them,” he stated.
