From the Philippine Star (Jun 20): Sayyaf demands P17-M ransom for captive Sibugay mayor?
Police are verifying reports the Abu Sayyaf has demanded a multimillion-peso ransom for the release of the mayor of Naga town in Zamboanga Sibugay.
Senior Superintendent Jose Bayani Gucela said they received various reports that the kidnappers have demanded between P10 million and P17 million from the family of Gemma Adana.
“It is unclear whether the demand is confirmed because various groups were calling the victim’s family,” Gucela said.
He said the victim’s family has also limited the release of information, citing the sensitivity of the case.
Gucela said he was not aware if negotiations for Adana’s release are underway.
Adana was seized at her house in Barangay Taytay Manubo on April 6.
Authorities said Adana is being held by the Abu Sayyaf in Sulu.
