51 of the 61 kidnap victims of Budah Hausa village in Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna state have been released.
The remaining five of the victims were however reportedly killed by bandits.
It was gathered that five victims were not released and were still held in captivity.
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. 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 in the legs while in captivity. Those who regained freedom and whose condition worsened have been rushed to the hospital for treatment,” he said
