There appears to be no end to the rain of terror unleashe on the residents of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and border communities by blood-thirsty bandits.
The bandits at the weekend allegedly slaughtered scores of people and dumped their bodies at Jere, a community along Abuja-Kaduna expressway.
Meanwhile, kidnappers, who abducted 10 people from Sagwari Estate Layout at Dutse in Bwari Area Council of the FCT on January 7, 2024, have killed two more of the abductees to send a strong warning to their relatives negotiating ransom payment.
It was gathered that after killing some of the kidnap victims, the bandits increased their demand from the initial N60 million per person to N100 million, now totalling N700 million.
According to the residents of the area, the victims were allegedly killed over the delay in raising the ransom demanded by the kidnappers.
It was also gathered that a 13-year-old secondary school student, identified as Folorunsho Ariyo, was among those killed.
Recall that last Friday, reports emerged that the kidnappers, who also operated in some villages in Bwari, had killed one of the six abducted persons, Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, to force the family into quickly raising the demanded ransom.
It was against this background that the former Minister of Communication, Isa Pantami and his friends raised N50 million ransom for the kidnapped persons..
