Kidnappers list demands as General, wife speak from captivity + Video

The kidnappers of a former spokesman of the Nigerian Army, retired Major General Abubakar Rabe, and his wife have listed their demands through the abductees who spoke in a video released on Saturday.

The Eagle Online recalls that the General and his wife were abducted along the Karaduwa-Matazu Road in Katsina State a week ago.

In a four-minute, two-second video circulated on social media, Rabe and his wife relayed the demands of their abductors, pleading with the government to meet them.

Rabe’s wife, who did most of the talking, said the abductors are demanding for the release of three of their members: Sani, Aminu, and Nasiru.

She said while two of them were arrested in Jikamshi in Katsina State, the third was arrested in Kano State.

They also demanded the return of the livestock allegedly seized from them.

She appealed to the Katsina State Government and leaders of five local government areas in the state to facilitate compliance with the demands in order to secure their release.

The retired army general, who spoke briefly in the video, called for efforts to ensure peace, stating that the abductors had expressed interest in dialogue and peaceful coexistence.
