According to a family member, the kidnappers who abducted women and children in Wanzamai village, Zamfara State, are demanding N30 million ransom.

The abductions occurred on Thursday, with approximately 100 people taken from farms in Zamfara and Katsina states. About 80 children from Wanzamai village and more than 20 individuals from neighboring villages were kidnapped.

The abductors have reportedly reduced their ransom demand from N60m to N30m.

The police command in the state has assured the public that efforts are being made to rescue the victims and reunite them with their families, with the help of the military and vigilantes.
