Terrorists raise ransom for five Abuja sisters from N60m to N700m

The terrorists who abducted six Abuja sisters but later murdered one of them over delay in payment of N60 million ransom, has raised the bounty to N700 million.

The new ransom is more than 1000 per cent high from the initial N60 million which the family could not even raise as at the deadline last Friday. By Saturday, the terrorists murdered one of the sisters – Nabeeha. They also set a new deadline of Wednesday for full payment of the N700 million deadline with threat of killing more.

The terrorists appear to be lethal with victims who fail to meet their ransom payment deadline. A report emerged that the kidnappers killed three other victims whose families could not meet the deadline.

Among those allegedly killed, as reported by Daily Trust, was a secondary school student and daughter of the Ekiti state-born chief legal officer of the National University Commission, Miss Folorunsho Ariyo.

The kidnappers dumped the remains of four victims they executed around a former military checkpoint behind Idah Junction along the Bwari-Jere SCC Road in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State, the report added.
