While the identity of the deceased had not been officially confirmed, residents of the community have expressed shock and fear over the increasing rate of violence and insecurity in the area.

A community leader who spoke on behalf of the community on condition of anonymity, called on security agencies to intensify their patrols and ensure that the criminals behind the kidnapping were swiftly brought to justice.
