Gunmen abduct film maker, demand N10m ransom

Gunmen have kidnapped a Jos-based filmmaker and media practitioner, Salisu Muazu, along Kaduna-Jos road.

Mr Muazu was kidnapped on Thursday evening. The victim’s elder brother who is also a filmmaker, Sani Muazu, confirmed his brother’s kidnap on Friday.

He said they were travelling together with two other persons at the time of the incident.

“We were returning from a conference in Kaduna when we were stopped and robbed by some armed men around Jengre village.

"They robbed us and I was able to escape, yet they went away with my younger brother Salisu and two other guys we gave a ride.

"They got in touch this morning seeking for a N10m ransom to process their release,” he said.

Muazu has asked Nigerians to pray for the safe return of his brother and other victims.
