Wakadaily earlier reported that, terrorists had vowed to sell some of the passengers and kill some if the government refuse to adhere to their demands.

The terriosts leader said: “Just like the Chibok girls that were sold off, we will equally sell these as slaves. If you don’t adhere to our demands, we will kill the ones we need to kill and sell the remaining. By God’s grace, El-Rufai, Buhari, we will bring you here.”
