Abductors of Kano cleric, Sheikh Abdullaho Shehu Mai Annabi and his team members have killed four people after collecting N5m ransom.
Afriupdate learnt that the Sheikh with 12 members of his team, including his brothers and students, all from Rimin Kebe area of Ungogo Local Government Area of Kano were kidnapped by gunmen about three weeks ago around Sheme town of Katsina State on their way to Zamfara State to attend Maulud in Anka town.
Confirming the latest development, the son of the cleric identified as Isyaku Abdullahi Shehu said the kidnappers demanded a ransom of N10 million from the family but they were able to pay only N5m.
He said their father, who has three wives and 17 children, is around 78 years and that they don’t have anything else to give to the kidnappers after the N5 million, which was gathered amongst them had already been given to the kidnappers.

He added that they didn’t know the appropriate security office to contact for the issue because they were kidnapped in Kastina and got the four corpses in Kuyallo town of Kaduna State.
“We never thought we will find ourselves in this kind of situation. We just heard this from here and there but it happened to us. Presently we are all exhausted and we don’t know what to do to raise the remaining N5 million to rescue our father and the remaining people.
“We call on the government and people to please help us in rescuing them. We don’t have anything and we don’t have anybody. Please and please we need your help,” he appealed in tears.
On the Maulud the people were scheduled to attend, the cleric’s son said the event was postponed because their father is the leader and has been the guest speaker at the event for many years.
He added that the organisers of the Maulud promised to come to Kano on the matter but were yet to come
