Kidnappers who abducted 10 persons from an estate, Sagwari Layout, Dutse, Abuja, on January 7 reportedly killed three of their victims to send a strong warning to their relatives negotiating ransom payment.

The development came even as it was gathered that the bandits have now increased their demand from the initial N60 million per person to N100 million, now totaling N700 million.

Residents said the victims were allegedly killed over the ‘delay’ in raising the ransom demanded by the kidnappers.

Vanguard gathered that a 13-year-old high school student, identified as Folorunsho Ariyo, was among those killed.

Only on Sunday, reports emerged that the kidnappers, who also operated in some villages in Bwari, had killed one of the six abducted persons to force the family into quickly raising the demanded ransom.

Dutse is a town under the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Pressed to the wall, residents of Sagwari Layout have perfected plans to stage a massive protest against the perceived inaction of the government and security agencies in rescuing their kin.

Initially planned for Monday, the protest was shifted to Tuesday as a result of Armed Forces Remembrance Day.

News like this makes one sick of this country

Useless bastards with black hearts. Killing innocent children over money.

President Tinubu should come out and rescue them all. Give the bastards the 100 million and let the remain children go back home to their parent..

Shame on the FG for not being able to protect Nigerians.

Iceberg3:
Smh at you... because we remember how you and your ilks always come for the heads of those who had criticised the govt especially that of the major culprit,buhari's.
It's only God that will have mercy

God bless Mazi Nnamdi kanu.
In his own words, if you dont let the Biafrans go, Somalia will be better than Nigeria

madridguy:
Stop shaking your head oga. If you don't have anything meaningful to say go back and sleep.

Iceberg3:
We know how truth is always bitter to them that hate it.

Your own people would've come for you but the moment they will see your moniker,they will quickly backpedal in hypocritical shame.

That's how it is with you guys.
Smh

Not just about letting his people go but about him issuing serious warning about these killers.

But Nigerians ignored him and some even mocked him,the way they still do till today!

Did I even mention how some threatened and dared him to step into Lagos?!

A serious president would have called a state security Council meeting or summoned the IGP and DSS DG and in that process it would put the pressure on them.
For kidnappers to deliberately kill victims due to delayed ransome is something new and shows a level of deep anger with the system.
I believe some of the kidnappers were people frustrated by the goverment in one way or the other.
But kidnapping innocent people is just cowardice while at the same time the government should address the suffering in the land which I believe is part of the cause.
