According to Daily Trust, it was gathered that Muhammed pleaded with the leadership of Taraba House of Assembly and the state government to meet the demand of his abductors to save his life.
Members of the Assembly, according to a source, have met with Governor Darius Ishaku over the issue.
The outcome of the meeting is, however, not disclosed.
