A 10-year-old boy, Tasi’u Abdullahi, was brutally murdered by his kidnappers at the Rikkos community in the Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The PUNCH reports that Abdullahi was said to have been killed after his parents paid ₦150,000 as part of the ransom demanded.
His lifeless body was, however, discovered in a sack on Friday near his family’s house.
The deceased’s uncle, Aliyu Muhammad, told newsmen on Tuesday that the boy was kidnapped in front of his family house on Monday, December 16, after he was lured by unknown individuals.
According to him, the abductors contacted the family five days later, demanding a sum of ₦50,000 for the boy’s feeding and a ransom of ₦1 million.
