Abducted Kaduna Education Ministry Director: Kidnappers tell family members to contact el-Rufai for N40m ransom

A Director with the Kaduna State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Mr John Gorah, has been abducted at his residence in Mararaban Rido, Kaduna.
He was abducted on Sunday night and the kidnappers are demanding for N40 million ransom from the state government.
The Deputy Director, Higher Education in the ministry, Mr Steven Haruna, said on Tuesday in Kaduna that the kidnappers had contacted the victim’s family.
Haruna explained that the kidnappers stormed the victim’s house, fired multiple gunshots in the air to scare people and pulled down a section of the fence before taking Gorah away.
He also said that the kidnappers abducted a nursing mother in the neighbourhood, leaving her three weeks old baby behind.
“The kidnappers have called the family and demanded for N40 million ransom,” he said.
A family source said that when the kidnappers were told that there was no way the family would get N40 million to pay, the abductors told them to contact Governor Nasir el-Rufai to help them out.
