In the capital city, Abuja, a group of kidnappers, who seized 10 individuals from Sagwari Layout, Dutse, on January 7, reportedly executed three victims as a grim warning to their families involved in ransom negotiations.
Notably, the abductors hiked their initial ransom demand from N60 million per person to a staggering N100 million, resulting in a cumulative sum of N700 million.
