The head of a Nigerian village where criminals attacked two churches and kidnapped 36 people on Sunday says people have nothing left to sell to raise ransom money demanded by the kidnappers.
Elisha Mari, head of Rubu village in the north-western Kaduna state, was one of the abductees released this morning.
He was freed and was asked to mobilize the community to pay ransom for their abducted relatives, according to local media outlets.
He told the BBC that the attackers did not give a timeline for the payment of the ransom.
The police have neither confirmed nor denied the ransom demand.
The commissioner of internal security, Samuel Aruwan, said three people were killed and two others sustained injuries during the attacks. END.
