“Negotiation is ongoing for the release of the kidnapped victims. The rate of abduction by criminal groups is increasing in Gujba, Gulani, Postiskum and Damaturu Local Government Areas.
“Movement in late evening or going to places where there is less population is very dangerous today,” the source said.
