Original: Nigeria: Boko Haram sets $33,500 price for release of Christian pastor’s wife and daughter, threatens slavery & death
Boko Haram militants in Nigeria are demanding a ransom of $33,500 for the release of the wife and daughter of a Christian pastor, reportedly threatening them with slavery and death if payment is not made. The abduction highlights the ongoing insecurity in northern Nigeria, where armed groups frequently kidnap civilians, particularly religious minorities, for ransom, drawing condemnation and concern over the government's ability to protect its citizens.
Why now: The ransom demand and threats against a pastor's family are drawing attention to Nigeria's persistent kidnapping and terrorism crisis.
