According to Wakili, a preliminary inquiry found that approximately 24 kidnappers stormed the Gaji settlement on Thursday.
The assailants reportedly targeted some businessmen returning from the Mararaban Liman Katagum Market and whisked them away to a place known as the Red Mountain in Yankari Forest.
The kidnappers demanded N50 million each as ransom before the rescue operation on Friday.
