Suspected kidnappers of Dr. Bashir Zubayr, a consultant with the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital ( formerly called Bayero University Teaching hospital) Kano State, have demanded N200 million as ramson.
A family source told The Nation that the doctor’s elder sister, Hamza Zubairu, was contacted on Thursday by the suspects.
Dr Zubayr was kidnapped along Lokoja-Okene federal highway on Wednesday afternoon.
The doctor was abducted alongside two of his younger brothers, and a younger sister at Irepeni 20km West of Lokoja.
They were on their way to Okene for the 40th day Fidau of their late mother.
The family said Zubayr’s car was sighted at Irepeni with the doors left ajar.
Chairman of the Nigerian Medical Association in Kano, Sanusi Bala, said he had notified the association’s national body of the incident.
