The Nation learnt that the hoodlums reportedly broke into the house, picked a boy, but returned him for Christie, the 26-year-old graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.

The kidnappers were heard arguing among themselves after abducting the boy that they were sent to kidnap a woman not a boy

The gunmen have established contacts with the victim’s family. They are demanding N5million ransom.

Bulus was killed at about 8pm on Monday in an ambush by suspected herdsmen.

The police command has confirmed both incidents.

He said efforts are on to arrest the culprits.
