5 hostages killed, 51 others releases after receiving ransom
A group of gunmen, who had kidnapped around 61 villagers in Budah village, Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State three weeks ago, have sadly taken the lives of five of the captives.
However, there is some relief as fifty-one other hostages were released on Tuesday after a ransom payment was made.
The abductors also took drugs and motorcycles before setting the hostages free.
It has been reported that the remaining five victims were not released as the bandits demanded an additional ransom.

A local vigilante, who preferred to remain anonymous, confirmed the release of the hostages to Daily Trust on Thursday, revealing that the victims who were killed were all men.
The released hostages have endured suffering during their time in captivity, with reports indicating that even the children were unable to walk upon their return as they had been chained for weeks.
