Gunmen who abducted seven residents, including a pregnant woman from Kuduru, a neighbouring community of Bwari Area Council in Abuja, have demanded N290 million ransom to release their hostages. The victims who were abducted on December 28 at the Kuduru extension by the bandits included a pregnant woman, three children and four adults, who have spent one month and four days in captivity. “They have reached out to us to bring N290 million to secure their release or that they will kill two of them. We have a pregnant woman and three children among them,” he said. “We understand that these people are already falling sick in captivity because of the harsh weather and the treatment there.”
