UNITY TIMES recalls that the daredevil gunmen invaded the estate on January 7 with highly sophisticated weapons and abducted at least ten persons.

Reports emerged on Monday that the terrorists had killed three of the ten victims, sending a strong warning to their relatives negotiating ransom payments.

It was also gathered that the assailants had increased their demand from the initial N60 million per person to N100 million, now totaling N700 million, as the only condition of their release.

It was further gathered that the victims were allegedly killed over the ‘delay’ in raising the ransom earlier demanded by the kidnappers.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Command, could not be reached for comments as of press time.
