A family member of the deceased, Dangana Usman, told our reporter on phone that the two freed victims were released on Thursday evening in a forest at Kpada-Duma community.
He explained that, “In fact, the family rallied round to raise the N1m ransom they demanded. But they ended up killing one of them simply because we didn’t bring the ransom on the date they gave us.”
Spokesman of the Niger State Police Command, ASP Wasiu Abiodun, did not pick calls or reply to an SMS on the development.
