Kidnappers who abducted a Chinese national, 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 incident, which occurred on Wednesday, also claimed the lives of two Police Mobile Force officers assigned to guard the expatriates.

Security analyst Zagazola Makama disclosed the ransom demand in a post on his verified X account on Friday.

According to him, the kidnappers used the victims’ mobile phones to contact an associate, Mr. Leo Liang, and demanded the huge sum.

Makama added that security agents and local vigilante groups have begun a search operation aimed at rescuing the abductees unharmed.
