The bandits kidnapped the four wives of Ardo after invading his residence on Feb. 11, 2023. Subsequently, the ransom (money and foodstuff) demanded for the release of the four wives was taken to the leader of the bandits in a forest between Kagarko and Kachia LGAs.
Upon receiving the ransom, the leader of the bandits fatally shot the senior wife and set free the remaining three.
The bandits also refused to release the corpse of the senior wife, family members revealed.
