Gunmen Kill Two, Kidnap Over 100 In Fresh Niger Attack


At least two people have been killed while over 100 others were kidnapped at Tungan Bako and Kawo communities in the Rafi Local Government Area of Niger State.

It was learnt that the attacks occurred at night on Thursday, forcing all the villagers to desert the community.

The sum of N70m was demanded by the button men as ransom 24 hours after the kidnap to release the victim, a source revealed.

"They phoned us to bring N70m as ransom before the people can be released. That is all I can say for now," the source said.

According to the source, the button men, riding on over 30 cycle of violences with two heavily gunnies on each cycle of violence, attacked the communities at 11:00pm.

"They started the shooting at 11:00pm and they were there till morning because many of us had to run into the bush for safety," he said.

It was gathered that Joint Security TaskForce had been deployed in the communities and are currently on the trail of the button men to rescue the kidnapped victims.
