“They have asked the family to pay N30m ransom before we could secure his release. But we have been able to raise N2m which they rejected.

“We have already lost a pregnant mother, Hawa who was hit by their stray bullet when the abductors were shooting sporadically during the operation,” the source said.

The abductors were said to be about seven in numbers and suspected to be Fulanis.
