Following  the kidnap of his sister two weeks ago from her home at Dangani Village under Musawa Local Government Area in Katsina, suspected kidnappers have taken hostage one Ibrahim Lukman while he was dropping off ransom for his sister, Aisha.

According to Daily Trust, Ibrahim was said to have agreed to meet the kidnappers with the money around Yantumaki forest where the kidnappers took him on a motorcycle to get his sister.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the police command, SP Gambo Isah, said the police have been telling people to stop negotiating with kidnappers.
