A resident of Boto, Hashimu Abubakar, said that at the moment, the gunmen have not contacted the family to negotiate a ransom for the release of the abductees, adding that all the phones of the three kidnap victims were switched off.

“The gunmen came around 1am and went straight to the house where my brother used to sleep. They broke the gate and started asking him where the ex-governor’s children or grandchildren were. They searched the house but couldn’t find anyone, that was how they shot him in the head and abducted three family members,” he said.
