Five Islamic clerics, identified as Juma’at imams, remain in the hands of their captors 15 days after being abducted while en route to pray for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election. The suspects were taken captive by gunmen on September 13 near Gidan Suleiman Bature in Zamfara State. The abductors reportedly demanded a ransom of N100 million, which was later reduced to N30 million before negotiations broke down.
According to reports, the clergymen were contacted by their families, but now sources close to the family claim that the whereabouts of the victims are unknown, suggesting the bandits have relocated them to a different location. Despite ongoing rescue efforts by security forces, no positive results have been achieved as of Monday, September 29.
