learnt that the release took place on Tuesday morning following the community’s efforts to meet the bandits' demands. Each motorcycle reportedly cost N1.2 million. However, 110 hostages remain in captivity. Reliable sources indicated that the bandits have proposed to release another 40 hostages if the community can provide an additional N2 million and six more motorcycles. Negotiations are ongoing between the bandits and community representatives.
recalls that this ordeal began three weeks ago when a large group of bandits invaded Kuchi community. The attack resulted in the deaths of seven individuals, including four security personnel. The bandits looted homes, shops, and barns, taking over 150 residents hostage in an assault that lasted more than three hours without any resistance from security forces.
