Terrorists operating in Niger state have released the video and pictures of 21 captives, as another armed gang
attacked Government Science College Kagara in Rafi LGA.
The video shared by Ahmad Salkida on Twitter showed the terrorists, carrying RPGs (rocket-propelled grenade launchers), threatening the captives and the government.
It was not clear whether the captives were the same people abducted few days ago, after a bus belonging to the Niger State Transport Authority (NSTA) was ambushed on Minna-Zungeru Road.
Twenty one passengers were abducted. A government statement said later that ten of the passengers had been freed without a ransom paid.
