The most widely read newspaper in Nigeria
Residents said the gunmen thought that Tyom was the owner of a car parked in the compound before whisking him away.
A resident, who did not want to be identified, said the gunmen later called to demand N10m ransom, adding that they were told that Tyom recently lost his job. He said, “When the gunmen called to demand N10m, they kept on saying, ‘Is he not the owner of the car parked inside the compound? How can he say he does not have money?’ They must have mistaken him for his neighbour, who is the car owner. Tyom is barely managing himself since he lost his job. Things have been difficult for him. Where will he get that kind of money from?”
The spokesman for the Katsina State Police Command, SP Gambo Isah, did not respond to enquiries on the two cases, even as residents said they were reported at the police divisions in the two councils.All rights reserved.
