By Umar Yusuf
Many weeks after Boko Haram terrorists invaded Kwapre community in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State and made away with no fewer than 52 members of the area, the insurgents have sent a demand notice to the village head to either pay a ransom of N28 million or lose the captives.
The terrorists, who are said to be emboldened by the proximity of the community to the dreaded Sambisa Forest and its inaccessibility by security agencies, have also threatened to be taking taxes from the community, which they now patrol with ease.

The captives, numbering 52 including women and children, were abducted last month in Kwapre village, in the Hong Local Government Area.

Boko Haram terrorists have demanded a ransom of N28 million to free some persons abducted in Adamawa State.
The captives, numbering 52 including women and children, were abducted last month in Kwapre village, in the Hong Local Government Area.
The terrorists who earlier demanded N30 million ransom, called the community this week and discounted the ransom to N28 million. They however vowed never to release the captives until the new ransom, put at N28 million was paid.
