Boko Haram’s $500,000 Ransom Demand for Hostages
Boko Haram terrorists have demanded a $500,000 ransom for the release of the wife, police orderly, and driver of Justice Haruna Mshelia, a High Court judge in Borno State. The insurgents rejected an initial offer of $50,000, insisting on the full amount.
Justice Mshelia was abducted on June 24, 2024, along with his wife, Binta Othman, a magistrate at Wulari Court in Maiduguri, his orderly, and his driver. He was released on September 8, 2024, after a substantial ransom was paid, with the condition that he raise an additional $500,000 for his family’s release.
In a separate incident, suspected Boko Haram terrorists attacked a police station in Malari, Konduga Local Government Area of Borno State, partially destroying an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC). The attackers met superior firepower and escaped with gunshot wounds. The terrorists only deflated the tyres of the police APC in an attempt to cause damage to vehicles and infrastructure in the vicinity.
