A teacher at Federal Government College, Anka, Mustapha Yahaya Maru, has reportedly been k!lled by armed band!ts despite the payment of ransom for his release.

 

 

 

Sahara Reporters reports that Maru was abducted early May while travelling to Anka in Zamfara State alongside several other passengers after their vehicle was intercepted by the attackers.

 

 

 

Following the abduction, the k!dnappers contacted his family and demanded a ransom far beyond their financial capacity.The report states that after intense efforts and negotiations, the family eventually raised and paid the agreed amount in hopes of securing his freedom.

 

 

 

Tragically, the bandits k!lled Maru on Tuesday instead of releasing him.

 

 

 

His de@th has thrown his family and the Maru community into mourning and has further heightened concerns over the worsening insecurity in the region.
