Suspected bandits who kidnapped a female judge and her four children in Kaduna State have demanded ₦300 million after killing her eldest son.
The judge and her children were abducted from their home in the Mahuta area on June 23.
The assailants, numbering about 15, attacked the residence at night while her husband, Dr. Musa Gimba Dutse, a medical doctor, was away on duty.
Human rights lawyer and CEO of the House of Justice, Gloria Ballason, confirmed on Wednesday that kidnappers who abducted a female judge and her four children in Kaduna State have threatened to kill her remaining sons if their ₦300 million ransom demand is not met promptly.
The abductors killed her 14-year-old son, Victor Gimba, on July 2 after the family failed to pay the ransom.
“The abductors, reported to have been about 15, took their captives hostage and demanded a huge sum as ransom.
“On Tuesday, July 2, 2024, the terrorists shot dead Victor Gimba, the first child of the judge, when the ransom demanded could not be obtained,” she said.
