Kidnappers of Mayor Adana ask P15M to P30M ransom?

From the Zamboanga Today Online (Oct 9): Kidnappers of Mayor Adana ask P15M to P30M ransom?

The kidnappers of Naga Mayor Gemma Adana are reportedly demanding P15 to P30 million in exchange for her safe release.. This was revealed by Zamboanga Sibugay Wilter Palma to the local reporters recently.

"So far, I have heard but not official they (kidnappers) are asking P15 to P30 Million. But they're directly negotiating or contacting the family (of Mayor Adana)," Palma told reporters.

The governor said Mayor Adana is still alive. “I can assure our people and even the family that Mayor Adana is still alive.”
According to him, the authorities are trying their best to secure the freedom of the mayor.

"It is not only in Zamboanga Sibugay that there is the problem of kidnapping," Palma added.

“I think this is a worldwide problem, the bottom line is that we have to be vigilant because the police cannot protect us all the time."

On April 6, Adana was with her family, friends and visitors at her home in Barangay Taytay Manubo, Zamboanga Sibugay when the gunmen barged in and seized her.

Authorities have received reports reports that the mayor was taken by her captors to Sulu and handed over to the Abu Sayyaf group.
According to reports, one of Adana’s abductors has been identified as Abral Abdusallam, a suspected member of a kidnap-for-ransom group based in the province.

The group's modus operandi  is that somebody will abduct the subject (victim) and transport them to either Basilan or Sulu and then the ASG will take care from there.
