The man said he gave the contact of his uncle to some kidnappers, who attacked and killed him.
“I gave my uncle’s contact to Ayuba, who gave it to Isa and they went to his house and killed him.
“We were called for most of our operations. This is the only kidnap I masterminded, the attacks in Zaria," he said.

He added, “I received N2000 after the National Tuberculosis and Leprosy Centre, Zaria, but nothing thereafter.
“When I called my accomplices two days later for my share, they threatened me,” he added.
