Four Kidnapped In Mayo Kebbi West For Ransom

After negotiations, they released two of the men, chained the other two, and moved into a forest near the border of Cameroon.
The two victims who have not been released yet are Liheunbo Ernest and Padeuh Emmanuel, who is the father of 8 children. Locals indicated that the victims that are still being held for ransom have some corn in their store rooms, possibly motivating the kidnappers to hold them for a higher ransom.
