A chilling demand has emerged as Boko Haram threatens to kill 400 women and children unless the Nigerian government pays a £2.7 million ransom. The group has given authorities a 72-hour ultimatum, intensifying security fears across the nation.

This alarming situation has raised concerns about the safety of the victims and the government's ability to respond effectively. The demand for a staggering N6 billion ransom for the victims from Borno and Kaduna has added to the already tense security landscape in Nigeria.
