The gunmen who abducted two students of the Federal University in Wukari, Taraba State, have reduced the ransom from fifty million naira to twelve million naira.
The students who were about to write their examination, had gone to eat at a restaurant on campus, when they were taken.
The Chairman of Wukari Local Government Area, Agbu Dauda, told TVC News that security operatives are on the trail of the kidnappers.
The fatalities from last week’s attack on Manga Village, a border community in Taraba South and other communities on the Cameroonian side has risen to 12.
Over 20 persons are still said to be missing including three children whose whereabouts are still unknown.
The riverside village of Manga, visited over the weekend, was still in a somber mood as relatives of the deceased were still mourning their loved ones.
Prior to last Tuesday’s attack on Manga village, the locals who spoke claimed there has been numerous attacks on some villages in Cameroon whom they share similar heritage.
This resulted to the influx of their kinsmen into Manga and other Nigerian Communities in that axis, whom they share the same Shibong language and cultural heritage in order to escape the onslaught of the separatists.
One of the residents, Joseph Manga shared his views on the attack.
A representative of the governor, Danjuma Adamu led a delegation to the scene of the attacks.
