Kidnappers who abducted a Chinese expatriate, Mr. Sam Xie Wie, and his Nigerian colleague, Mr. David Adenaiye, during an attack on a mining site in Kwara State have demanded a ransom of ₦1 billion for their release.
The demand was revealed in a post on Friday by security analyst, Zagazola Makama on his verified X account.
According to the post, the abductors used the victims’ mobile phones to contact an associate identified as Mr. Leo Liang, demanding the huge sum for their freedom.
The victims were kidnapped on Wednesday during a violent raid on a mining site.
The attack also led to the death of two personnel of the Police Mobile Force who were assigned to protect the expatriates.
Makama noted that security operatives and local vigilante groups have launched a search operation in an effort to rescue the abducted men unharmed.
