Sunday, November 15, 2026 - Suspected bandits have reportedly killed two kidnapped residents, identified as Anas and Sallama, popularly known as Babawo, along Maidubu Road in Yamma Ward, Kontagora Local Government Area of Niger State, despite receiving a N6 million ransom for their release.
The victims were among eight people abducted during an
attack in the area.
Security expert, Bakatsine, who disclosed this on his
official X handle on Saturday, said some of the abducted persons were later
released but Anas and Sallama were reportedly killed despite efforts by their
families to secure their freedom.
According to him, the victims' families had paid ransom to
the kidnappers in an attempt to secure their release. But the payment did not
prevent their deaths.
