Andrawus James, a middle-aged man from Bai village in Yadim District of Fufure Local Government Area, Adamawa State, has confessed to abducting his 18-year-old niece, Fatima, with the intention of selling her for N7 million. James approached a prospective buyer named Mohamed Buba and agreed upon a price for Fatima's sale. He then contacted Fatima, falsely telling her that he had secured a job for her in Abuja to keep her away from her parents.
Instead of taking her to Abuja, James tricked Fatima into traveling to Ganye, where she was handed over to Buba, who had alerted security personnel. The court adjourned the case pending legal advice from the state Department of Prosecution.
