 The newspaper said the gunmen sent a video message to the family of the bank manager demanding that the money be taken away or destroyed, prompting the family to take the money to a forest in Kaduna State, for ransom.

 The source told the newspaper that the families were initially instructed to take the money to a forest in Katsina State, but were later told to return to Kaduna State, where they found a group of armed militants in a forest and handed them over.  a lot of money.
