Following negotiations with the terror group, the residents of the two communities agreed to pay N9million as against N40 million requested by the terrorists. They were given two weeks to get the money ready or face attacks.

To avert the attack, they are contributing N6000, according to leaders who did not want to be named.

“We sat and agreed to task ourselves, in fact, each and every one of us is to pay nothing less than N6,000 including wood breakers, street hawkers and shoemakers, and of course no matter how less or small is one’s business,” an elder in one of the communities told HumAngle.

HumAngle learnt that a terror group led by Dullu Kachalla, one of the terror kingpins in the area, sent a message to Jangeru and Birnin Yero villages in Shinkafi Local Government Area of the state on Sunday, Feb. 13, to brace up for an attack after they failed to meet up with the tax payment.
