The clerics were said to have been kidnapped shortly after attending a special prayer session organised for President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Conflict reporter D English Alhaji disclosed the development in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
According to him, the six Sheikhs were abducted after attending the prayer session organised by the Director-General of the APC campaign and senator representing Zamfara West, Abdulaziz Yari.
He claimed that the bandits have now demanded N30 million as ransom for the release of the clerics.
“These are the six Sheikhs that were abducted by bandits in Zamfara after attending special prayers session for Tinubu and APC, organised by the DG campaign for APC, Sen. Abdulaziz Yari,” D English Alhaji wrote.
“Bandits are now demanding N30 million ransom for their release.”
The reported abduction comes amid continued security concerns in parts of Zamfara, where bandit attacks and kidnappings have remained a major challenge.
As of the time of filing this report, there was no official statement from the Zamfara State Government, security agencies or the APC confirming the abduction and ransom demand.
