Bandits Collect N8.5m, Demand 2 Motorcycles Again To Release 13 Victims

After receiving N8.5 million and releasing four out of 17 individuals, including a female medical nurse, in Kawu, Bwari Area Council of the FCT, the bandits have once again demanded two brand new Bajaj motorcycles from the families to release the remaining 13 victims still in their captivity.

Bandits invaded Kawu community in Bwari on December 26, 2023, and abducted 23 persons. Four managed to escape, leaving 17 others in captivity.

The bandits had threatened to kill the remaining 13 if the ransom payment was delayed.

A member of one of the families, Bala Dantani, explained that the ransom was paid in tranches, with N5 million handed over to the bandits after they threatened to kill the captives due to the families’ delay in bringing the ransom two weeks ago.

An additional N3.8 million, along with foodstuffs, drugs, and wines, was delivered on Tuesday after the bandit leader promised to release the victims.

Meanwhile, the new Commissioner of Police for FCT Command, Bennet Igwe, has assumed duty at the command’s headquarters, taking over from CP Haruna Garba, who has been promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector General (AIG) of police.
