We’ll kill more, bandits threaten after killing one out of seven captives abducted from Abuja  community

Bandits who abducted seven persons, including a pregnant woman from Kuduru community near Bwari area council in the federal capital territory ((FCT) have killed one of the captives.

The victim, Olayinka Ogunyemi, was reportedly killed on Friday by the abductors after members of the families of the hostages failed to pay the N290 million demanded.

A community source told our reporter that the bandits called on Friday to break the news of the execution of Ogunyemi, a civil engineer.

The source said the bandits threatened to kill the remaining captives, including one and half year-old boy, two siblings, the pregnant woman and two men, if N230 million is not made available as ransom.

“They called us yesterday that they have killed engineer Olayinka Ogunyemi. They told us that they will kill the rest if we don’t bring N230 million,” the source said.

“We have already paid N23 million and sent food and other items they demanded but none of our people has been released.

“We are scared and helpless now that they will not kill the pregnant woman and her child, the two siblings and the two men.

“We are appealing to the federal government, the police and the army to step up efforts to rescue our people because their abductors said Nigeria has offended them and they would retaliate.”

He gave the name of those being held as Godwin Rachel Adeoye, Godwin Dominic, Austin Buremo, Hassan Usman, Hassan faosiya and Bako Azeez.
