Suspected Boko Haram terrorists have demanded a N50 million ransom for Kyari, an internally displaced person (IDP) abducted during a recent attack on Kaleri in Jere LGA, Borno State.
The assailants, who also looted food supplies, contacted Kyari’s family using his phone.
A Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) member confirmed that negotiations are ongoing. Despite security presence, concerns about safety remain high, with calls for urgent government intervention.
