The criminal elements who abducted 17 victims at Kawu village in Bwari Area Council of the FCT have threatened to kill the remaining 11 persons over delay in paying ransom and brand new Bajaj motorcycles by their families.

Recall that bandits invaded Kawu on January 11, 2024, and whisked away 18 persons, including a couple, children of the District Head of Kawu and a female nurse.

Speaking with Daily Trust on Sunday, January 28, a family member of four of the victims, Bala Danjuma, said the bandits’ leader called on Saturday morning and threatened to kill the remaining 11 victims over delay in paying their ransom.
