December 28 was a dark day at Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory FCT where seven residents of Kuduru community were abducted by unknown terrorists.
These terrorists are said to have demanded N290 million ransom, drugs and foodstuffs to release the hostages.
The victims are said to include, a pregnant woman, three children and four adults all of who have now spent one month and four days in captivity.
One of the community elder who prefers anonymity confirmed the news and also added that the bandits had threatened to kill two of the victims if their demands were not met on time.
“They have reached out to us to bring N290 million to secure their release or that they will kill two of them. We have a pregnant woman and three children among them.”
“They asked us to bring bags of rice, packs of Indomie (noodles), cough syrups, antibiotics, bedsheets and cardigans for the bandits’ use.”
“They insist that the N290 million ransom must be complete for them to let our people go.” He stated. “
The community leader, while pleading with the chief of army staff and inspector general of police, he said, “We know that they are trying their best, but we plead with them to rescue our families like they did to the six sisters and the Ariyos.”
“We understand that these people are already falling sick in captivity because of the harsh weather and the treatment there.”
