Kaduna: Bandits kill victims who can’t pay ransom, set noon deadline for others in captivity
Terrorists who abducted 26 people from Ungwan Bulus, Chikun, Kaduna, on March 21 have killed three whose relatives could not provide the N20 million demanded in ransom for each victim.
The bandits executed three of the victims on Monday night, threatening to kill more by 12 noon on Tuesday if their demands are not met.
The Chief of Ungwan Bulus, Gideon Haruna Goni, confirmed the killing of the three victims.
According to him, the bandits called the community to inform them that they should pick the corpses around Dutse Community along the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
The chief said the corpses had been retrieved.
“We came together as a community, raised some amount and they called us and told us to pick corpses of victims from Dutse. They threatened to kill more, especially women, if their demands are not met. 26 were abducted, one was released, three were killed,” he said.
He explained that the person, who was released was considered on health grounds.
The chief, who appealed to the abductors not to kill any of the victims, pleaded with the state and federal government to come to their aid.
