Elder Washima Erukaa, a former chairman of Katsina Ala and Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State, has been reportedly killed by his abductors.
Erukaa was abducted on September 23rd at his residence in Zakibiam. His abductors initially demanded a ransom of N12 million but later reduced it to N5 million.
A family member said the kidnappers informed them that Erukaa had died and been buried.
“One of the abductors informed a member of the family that Erukaa died since, and they buried him so they will not deceive us into paying ransom,” The Nation quoted the family member as saying.
The Police in Benue have yet to confirm Erukaa’s death as of press time.
