Bandits who kidnapped 61 residents of Budah Hausa village in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State three weeks ago, have reportedly killed five of the victims and released 51 others.
It was gathered that another five victims were not released and are still held in captivity.
The police were yet to react to the incident but a local vigilante, who craved anonymity, confirmed to journalists that the five victims killed were all men.
According to him, “Those released had suffered while in captivity, including children, who couldn’t even walk when they returned because they were chained for weeks.
“Very terrible, if you see them, you will shed tears because they really suffered, especially the men among them. No fewer than 61 of them were abducted, 51 have returned, five killed in captivity, and five others are still with the bandits.
“Among those released, two were shot on the legs while in captivity. Those who regained freedom and whose condition worsened have been rushed to the hospital for treatment.”
