On Monday, there were reports that three of the 10 victims had been executed by the terrorists as a stern message to their family who were negotiating a ransom payment.
Also, it was learned that the attackers’ demands, which were originally N60 million for each victim, had been raised to N100 million, or N700 million, as the sole need for their release.
It was further gathered that the victims were allegedly killed over the ‘delay’ in raising the ransom earlier demanded by the kidnappers.
