He later confirmed that one of the victims was shot, as a warning to hasten the response to the agreement between the Federal Government and the bandits.

However, in an audio in circulation, which is believed to be a voice of one of the group members,  threatened to slaughter the victims because the government failed to negotiate  their release.

Meanwhile, Mamu has confirmed to newsmen that the audio is real adding that Wednesday June 6th  has been picked to carry out the threats.

According to him, they became provoked on Monday after giving us another opportunity.

“I was crying and pleading with them that since there is a delay from the government, they should discuss with the family members directly to negotiate the victims’ release.

“Based on the plea, they agreed to negotiate directly with the victims’ families.

“But they said they are giving us till Wednesday, that if there was nothing concrete from those that are interested in the negotiation, they will start slaughtering some of the victims,” he said.
