Justin Tyopuusu, JalingoThe abductors of the Provost of the Taraba State College of Health Technology, Takum, Mr. Fred Wayas, on Monday demanded N30m as a ransom for his release. “They allow him to talk to us before one of them collected the phone and asked us to pay them N30m before he would be released. The ransom according to them is for the release of the provost and his driver. “They promised to call us back but they have not called yet and the number is no longer going through,” the source said. Wayas’ abduction is coming barely five months after the member representing Takum 1 state constituency in the Taraba State House of Assembly, Hosea Ibi, was kidnapped and killed in Takum after payment of ransom.
