Boko Haram Threatens to Relocate 416 Hostages Unless Demands Met in 72 Hours

Boko Haram has issued a stern warning to the government over 416 people abducted in Borno State. In a video released this Monday, fighters dressed in camouflage said they would move the victims to undisclosed locations if their demands—reportedly a ₦5 billion ransom—are not met within three days. They also challenged any forceful rescue attempt, vowing to confront government forces. The group addressed its message to the Borno South Youths Alliance and the Nigerian authorities. The alliance’s president confirmed the ransom demand and appealed to the federal and state governments, as well as philanthropists, to act swiftly to secure the release of women and children.
