A health worker and a water factory manager kidnapped last month in Tegina, Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State, have been killed by their bandit captors, who had collected an N8 million ransom for their release.
He was among four residents kidnapped at Tegina on November 14, at a water factory. The factory’s manager, Kasimu lawan, was also killed in captivity. On Tuesday, an official of a road transport union in the town, Bello Muhammad, told PREMIUM TIMES that the community contributed N8 million ransom to secure the release of the abducted persons.
Mr Muhammad said the ransom bearer returned with a gory picture of the deceased victims, which made the residents observe funeral prayers for the deceased. He said the kidnappers blindfolded him while taking him into the bush. He said the corpse of the deceased health worker was on the ground while the other captive, Mr BK, could not utter a word.
'The bandits requested a fresh N20 million, three new motorcycles and two smartphones, equivalent in value to the one seen with the deceased health worker, as a ransom for the release of the corpses' || These are the demons state governors and emissaries are seeking amnesty for?
