A community in Hong Local Government Area Adamawa state has cried out for help to enable it secure the release of no fewer than 52 people abducted by the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents during attack.
This is coming as the hoodlums have vowed not to release the 52 people including women and children kidnapped during the deadly attack launched on Kwapre community about a month ago.
The insurgents who earlier called the inhabitants of the community and demanded that they should pay the sum of #30million before releasing their relations had last week asked the community to pay #28million as ransom in order to set their people free.
Speaking exclusively to NEWS PLATFORM on their plight, the Village Head of Kwapre, Joel Kulaha, lamented that the Boko Haram insurgents have been calling and demanding his community to pay #28million before releasing their people.
The royal father noted with concern how the hoodlums destroyed the community and at the same time demanding such huge amount of money from them so as to release their poor people.
Joel Kulaha however appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and other well to do individuals to come to their aid so that his subjects will regain their freedom.
Also speaking, the Ward Heads of Kwapre I and IA, Sabon Gari, Kwapre Central, Hayin Rafi, and Unguwan Masalaci, Usman Yarda, Abenego Bitrus, Naptali Gabriel, Saidu Dauda, Silas Apolos and Jonah Gayus, appreciated the Governor for delegating the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Aminu Iya Abbas to condole them.
The royal fathers called on the Governor to do everything possible towards securing the release of their relations, saying that their situation calls for concern and immediate intervention.
