Dr. Sule Audu, a retired federal civil servant, who was abducted two months ago, is still in captivity.

Our reporter gathered that the family of the abducted man retiree paid N50 million ransom but to their disappointment, the kidnappers refused to release the victim.

A family member, who will not like his name mentioned, said they have not heard from the elderly man for over one month even as the kidnappers are demanding for additional ransom.

Meanwhile, the two Jukun girls, a lawyer and three cattle merchants abducted over two months ago have regained their freedom.

It was gathered that the abducted persons regained their freedom on separate dates after their families paid ransom.

All the seven persons were abducted at Kofan Ahmadu along Wukari-Takum road, a location from which several people have been abducted in the past several months.

Spokesman of Taraba police command, DSP David Misal, could not be contacted for update on the abducted civil servant and the seven who have reportedly been released from captivity. His line was switched off when our reporter called him.
