Kidnappers Demand N250 Million Ransom For Abducted Ex-NYSC DG, General Tsiga

The kidnappers of retired General Maharazu Tsiga, a former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), have demanded a N250 million ransom for his release.

A source close to the family, who requested anonymity, confirmed to Daily Trust that the abductors had contacted the family with their demand.

General Tsiga was reportedly kidnapped alongside nine other residents in a coordinated attack that occurred around midnight on Wednesday.

Eyewitnesses say that over 100 armed men surrounded his residence before taking him away.

Speaking to journalists, Abdullahi Balarabe Dabai, the House of Representatives member for Bakori/Danja Federal Constituency in Katsina State, revealed that the attackers forcefully entered the house by breaking doors before abducting the retired general.

Authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the incident.
