Bandits have reportedly demanded N40 trillion as a ransom to release the 16 residents abducted from the Gonin Gora area of Kaduna, TheCableNG is reporting. Speaking with TheCable on Monday, John Yusuf, a community leader, said the bandits contacted family members of the victims and also demanded 11 Hilux vans and 150 motorcycles. This is the first time bandits would make such a huge demand since abduction for ransom started in Nigeria. On February 28, bandits k+lled two residents of Anguwan Auta in Gonin Gora and abducted several others. After the att+ck, residents of the area on February 29 blocked the Kaduna-Abuja highway for several hours to protest against the k+lling and abduction. Yusuf said the bandits att+cked the community twice within the week. “The bandits have contacted us. They are demanding N40 trillion, 11 Hilux vans and 150 motorcycles for the release of 16 people they are holding captive,” he said.
