Gombe: Grief as Gunmen Kill Hostages After Collection Millions as Ransom

A middle-aged man identified as Hammayidi, at Galumji village in the Dukku Local Government Area of Gombe State, has been reportedly killed by bandits after they received a ransom of N5 million from his family.

It was reported that the deceased was kidnapped by the bandits who abducted him at his home in the middle of the night, three weeks ago.

His remains, now decomposed, were later found under the bridge between Dukku and the Akko area, a few days after the ransom was paid to the bandits.

Daily Trust reported that a family member, who did not want to be identified, disclosed that the deceased “was tied up, sl@ughtered, and shot in the body.”

According to the family member, the ransom was raised after the family sold farm produce and livestock on Dukku market day. He added that the bandits received the money on the same day. He added that “they counted it and even offered to give him N10,000 for his Okada ride from the bush to town.”
