The bandits however demanded two brand new Bajaj motorcycles from the families to release the remaining 13 victims in captivity.
Recall that on December 26, 2023, bandits invaded Kawu community in Bwari and abducted 23 persons, out of which four escaped, leaving behind 17 others.
A member of one of the families, Bala Dantani, told Daily Trust on Friday that the ransom was paid in tranches, after members of the community, relations and some family members of victims struggled to contribute money.
