Suspected kidnappers have reportedly killed two abducted persons in Gwargwada, Kuje Area Council of the FCT, following the delay in payment of ransom by their relatives.

According to Daily Trust report, the two victims, Mohammed Danladi and Nasiru Yusuf, who are natives of Gwargwada village, were abducted alongside a herder and a woman at Gwombe junction, along the Gwargwada-Rubochi road, on Wednesday.

A member of the deceased’s family, Shuaibu Abdullahi, told the newspaper on Sunday that the kidnappers demanded N500,000 each for the two victims, totalling N1 million.

He, however, said the families were only able to raise N500,000 for the duo.

He said: “The kidnappers’ leader called on Friday, and the family members told them that they were only able to raise N500,000, not knowing that they had already killed two of them because the family delayed the ransom.”

He said the kidnappers later released the herder and a woman after they collected N3 million ransom at their hideout in Koton Karfe forest in Kogi State.

The traditional ruler of Gwargwada, Ugbada Hussaini Agabi Mam, confirmed the incident.He said the two deceased abducted on their way returning from Rubochi.

He said: “Unfortunately, the two young men were killed by their abductors simply because of the delay in paying the ransom they demanded.

‘’Their corpses are yet to be recovered because the victims were taken to Kotonkarfe forest in Kogi State but I learnt that the chairman of Kotonkarfe had mobilized hunters and vigilantes into the forest but they are yet to recover the two corpses.”

There was no immediate response from the FCT Police Command on the incident.
