No contact, ransom demand from Sibugay mayor’s captors

From the Philippine Star (Apr 23): No contact, ransom demand from Sibugay mayor’s captors

The family of the mayor of Naga town in Zamboanga Sibugay has not been contacted by her captors, a security official said yesterday. 

The official, who is close to the family of Gemma Adana, also denied reports that the kidnappers have demanded a P100-million ransom.

“That is a very staggering amount, unimaginable, unrealizable. It’s too much,” the official, who requested anonymity, said.

The official, however, believes Adana is not likely to be released without payment of ransom or “board and lodging fees.”

Police earlier tagged a renegade faction of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in the kidnapping.

The provincial crisis management committee has confirmed that Adana has been moved out of Naga town.

The official cited unconfirmed  reports that Adana has been transferred to either Basilan or Sulu.

Adana was taken from her house in Barangay Taytay Manubo on April 6.
