The family of Sani
Gyadi-Gyadi, divisional police officer (DPO) of Birnin Gwari division in
Kaduna, has appealed to the federal government to help secure his release from
captivity.
In June, Gyadi-Gyadi was kidnapped along the Birnin Gwari
road on his way to report as the new DPO in the division in Kaduna.
Speaking with
BBC Hausa, Musa Muhammad Gyadi-Gyadi, the elder
brother of the abducted officer, said the gunmen requested N250 million from
the family as ransom.
The officer’s brother said they usually hear how the gunmen torture him every time they called, adding that DPO said he could bleed to death due to the extent of the torture.
Musa said the family had earlier raised N5 million as ransom,
but the abductors said that was for food.
He added that the kidnappers demanded another money for
airtime, as well as a motorcycle.
The officer’s brother said N2 million was given to someone
to take to the abductors, but the gunmen collected the money and also refused
to release the ransom bearer.
“We are talking to my cousin on the bandit’s phone. The
officer told me that all the rain this year is falling on him, and he is sick
and has a blood clot,” Musa said.
“He begged us to save his life. He said they were chained.
He was just begging us to save them, because he is currently defecating blood,
stooling, and has pain in his leg.
“His wife is also worried because of the serious situation
he is in.”
Meanwhile, efforts to reach Mohammed Jalige, spokesman of
the Kaduna police command, were unsuccessful as he had not responded to calls
or messages at the time of this report.
