Bandits have killed a Kaduna farmer, Ibrahim Kadafa, despite collecting N56m ransom and other items from his family following his abduction along the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
Kadafa, also known as Ibro, was kidnapped alongside his friend, Mustapha Shelpidi, on October 28 while they were harvesting soybeans at Alheri Camp farm.
The kidnappers reportedly demanded N100m from the family but later accepted N56m, three brand-new Samsung mobile phones, and a N20,000 airtime recharge card.
However, when the family went to receive Kadafa on November 11, the abductors handed over his lifeless body instead of releasing him alive.
