This Day reports that armed kidnappers stormed the Tanda farm over the weekend shooting sporadically in the air to scare of any rescue attempt and made away with four persons.
A source disclosed that the kidnappers have already asked for a ransom of N5 million each, making it a total of N20 million for all four persons.
This is not the first time the kidnappers would be abducting people from the farm, the source added.
The source said: “This time around, they had come from the creeks and entered the farm. They were heavily armed, so no one could resist them.
“They left with three farmers and the NYSC returnee, who had finished her service year and was employed at the farm.

“Note that she has always been a worker at the farm but left for service. She was employed at the farm about two weeks ago. She is a graduate of Ladoke Akintola University, Ogbomosho, Oyo State.
“Already her fiancé is distraught and alarmed at the whopping sum demanded as ransom by kidnappers, as he has no idea how to raise it.”
Meanwhile, following very rigorous investigations, the police have arrested two suspected masterminds of the kidnapping of pupils and staff members of the Nigerian Turkish International Colleges.
Punch Metro reports that apart from the ringleaders, Philip Kakadu, aka General Kakadu, and Romeo Council, aka Raw, other suspects were also said to be undergoing screening in connection with the abduction
Investigations reveal that 29-year-old Kakadu and Council, 40, were apprehended in Warri, Delta State, by operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team, led by ACP Abba Kyari.
