Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Unknown gunmen suspected to be kidnappers who abducted the Magaji Erubu of Ilorin Emirate, Dr Zubair Folorunsho Erubu on Thursday night, have demanded N60m ransom for his freedom.<\/p>\n

Sources disclosed in Ilorin on Saturday that the kidnappers on Friday contacted the family of the captive.<\/p>\n

Dr Erubu, a retired Permanent Secretary in the state and former physician to ex-two term governor of Kwara State, Dr Bukola Saraki, was abducted about four days ago on his way home to Ago-Oja, in Asa Local Government Area of the state when he was ambushed by unknown gunmen.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST gathered that the kidnappers insisted that the ransom must be paid in full before the release of the traditional title holder and have refused to negotiate, a development which is at variance with the state police command\u2019s zero tolerance for ransom payment to kidnappers.<\/p>\n

The victim was reported to be on his way home from Ilorin, the state capital, when he ran into an ambush laid by the unknown gunmen.<\/p>\n

On the fateful day, he had attended to a patient who was undergoing treatment in his private hospital located at Balogun Fulani Area of Ilorin metropolis.<\/p>\n

Spokesman of the state police command, Mr Okasanmi Ajayi, who confirmed the incident on Friday, said a search and rescue operation had been launched to rescue the victim and arrest the masterminds.<\/p>\n

He said the state police commissioner, Tuesday Assayomo also directed discreet investigation into the matter as soon as report reached the command.<\/p>\n
