The gunmen who abducted Yakubu Lawal, the Nasarawa state Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, have reached out to his family to demand the sum of N100 million as ransom for his release.
The kidnappers invaded Lawal's home in Nasarawa Eggon Local Government Area of the state on Monday night, August 15 at about 8:45pm and abducted him.
The abductors contacted his family at about 4.30pm on Tuesday, August 16, and said the only way they would release the commissioner is if the sum of N100 million is paid as ransom.
The state police has since confirmed Lawal's abduction and stated that efforts are being made to rescue him unhurt.
