Bandits who kidnapped the Emir of Kajuru, Alhassan Adamu, in the early hours of Sunday, on Monday morning placed a ransom of N200 million on the Emir before he is freed. The spokesperson of the Kajuru Emirate Council, Dahiru Abubakar, disclosed the demand for ransom by the bandits on Monday.
The Emir of Kajuru, Alhassan Adamu, was kidnapped by the bandits on Sunday morning with 13 members of his family, including two grandchildren.
