Boko Haram terrorists have demanded a ransom of $500,000 for the release of the wife, police orderly, and driver of Justice Haruna Mshelia, a High Court judge in Borno State.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A family source told Daily Trust that the terrorists rejected an initial offer of $50,000, insisting on the full $500,000 before releasing the remaining captives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Mshelia was abducted on June 24, 2024, along with his wife, Binta Othman-a magistrate at Wulari Court in Maiduguri-his orderly, and his driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terrorists released Justice Mshelia on September 8 after a substantial ransom was paid, but only on the condition that he raises an additional $500,000 for his family\u2019s release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe learned that the family managed to raise almost $50,000, but the insurgents turned down the offer, insisting on the full $500,000,\u201d a source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When contacted for an update on the abducted police orderly, the Borno State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Nahum Daso, requested more time to consult before making a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Efforts to reach Justice Haruna Mshelia for comments were unsuccessful, as his phone remained unreachable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Dean of the Technology Department at the Nigerian Army University Biu (NAUB), Professor Abubakar Eljuma, remains in captivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources from the university revealed that the suspected Boko Haram terrorists who abducted him have yet to contact either the university or his family regarding his fate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, suspected Boko Haram terrorists on Wednesday attacked a police station and partially destroyed an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), in Malari, Konduga LGA of Borno State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Police Public Relations Officer, Borno State Command, ASP Nahum Daso, confirmed the incident saying the attackers met superior firepower and escaped with gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He, however, said the terrorists only deflated the tyres of the police Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) in an attempt to cause damage on vehicles and infrastructure in the vicinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
