Tension has gripped the family of Abubakar Sadiq Yaji following his abduction by gunmen along the Gboko–Zaki Biam–Wukari road, with his captors now demanding a ransom of N50 million for his release.
Yaji, who was travelling from Ankpa in Kogi State in a commercial vehicle, was reportedly abducted alongside 17 other passengers when their vehicle ran into an armed roadblock mounted by suspected kidnappers at Jorta—a volatile stretch on the Benue-Taraba border.
