More worries as abductors refuse to let Taraba businessman go free after collecting N100m ransom

The family members of Takum based businessman, Alhaji Mayo, have expressed worries over the refusal of his kidnappers to release the business man after collecting N100 million as ransom fee.

The spokesperson of the abducted businessman’s family, Mallam Ibrahim Takum, said Alhaji Mayo was abducted 40 ago in Takum and the abductors demanded N100 million which was paid to them, but did not make the release as promised, Daily Trust reports.

He said the abductors, after collecting N100million, asked for more N100 million.

He added that after a series of negotiation between family members of the businessman over the demand of additional ransom, the abductors suddenly stopped communications.

He also mentioned that the family is worried about welfare of Tanku and to know if he is still alive

Mallam Ibrahim said their fear is made stronger by what happened to a member of Taraba House of Assembly Mr Hosea Ibbi, who was abducted in December 2018 but got killed after his family paid N28 million ransom.

The spokesman of the family also said that suspected that the reason for the businessman's kidnapping could be more than money.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
