The kidnappers of Ayade Commissioner have demanded N150 million for her release, Ejesgist News has gathered.
After eight days in captivity, the gunmen who kidnapped Prof. Gertrude Njar, the Cross River State Commissioner of Women Affairs, have demanded N150 million for her release.
Cross Rivers Watch publisher Agba Jalingo revealed this in a post on his own Facebook page.
In the early hours of February 1, the commissioner was kidnapped in the Calabar South neighborhood of Mayne Avenue and Atamunu.

The Permanent Secretary, Dr. Alfred Mboto, and the police had been contacted, said Eric Anderson, the Cross River State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, as he informed journalists of the terrible situation.
Another concern he stated was that “such an unattractive development may take place in the center of the town.”
Njar, alongside other commissioners, was sworn in by Governor Ben Ayade recently.
