Unknown gunmen on Thursday abducted Rev. Yusuf Magaga, a senior pastor with the Evangelical Church Winning All, Kabene-surubu Village in Kauru Local Government Council of Kaduna State.
The Punch gathered that the kidnappers have demanded a N2 million ransom for his release.
A resident of Kabene-surubu village, Mr. Jacob Wakili, told our Correspondent that Magaga was kidnapped around 2a.m Wednesday.
He said the kidnappers established contact with the victim family on Thursday.
“This was when they now requested for the N2million as ransom,” he said.
“The village was attacked by Fulani herdsmen but thank God the people were able to mobilized for defence. However, they still destroyed part of the ECWA church, took away the Pastor of the church and left few others injured.”
Meanwhile, when contacted for confirmation, the new Public Relations officer of the Kaduna State Command, ASP Aliyu Usman, did not respond as his telephone indicated that it was switched-off.
