Terrorists Kill 3 Of 26 Kidnapped Victims, Threaten To Kill More If …

Three of the twenty six victims abducted by bandits in Angwan Bulus, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State have been killed for failure of their families to pay N20m ransom.

The bandits invaded the area on March 31, shooting sporadically into the air before kidnapping about 26 victims. They later demanded 20 million naira each from their families.

After realizing the families could not meet up with the ransom, they reportedly killed three of them as a way of sending a disturbing and devasting message to them. They also promised to kill more if they fail to respond.

The spokesman for the State Police Command, ASP Mohammed Jalige, confirmed the unfortunate development in a statement on Tuesday.

“I received phone calls from some people this morning telling me of three bodies that were found at Dutse village somewhere in the bush. The corpses were evacuated to Saint Gerald Hospital. We are trying to talk to the area commander to ensure the safe return of those who are still in captivity,” the PPRO stated.
