Boko Haram terrorists are said to have demanded for N30 million ransom before they will free 30 persons abducted from Kwapree community, Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
During a recent attack in the community, the terrorists group killed seven people, abducted 30 persons and displaced over 5,000 persons.
Some community members, it was learnt, said that the terrorists group contacted some people demanding to be paid N30m in order to free the 30 persons in their captivity.
Also on Monday, the Chairman of the council, James Pukuma, said three more persons had died as a result of the attack, making the total number of persons who died 10.
He spoke when the state House of Assembly Speaker visited the community on Monday.
Pukuma, however, denied the claim that the insurgents called and demanded for N30 million ransom.
“There’s no talk of any ransom or demand for it. As of yesterday, there were seven deaths but today it has risen to 10, while 53 persons who are hospitalised are being treated,” he said.
