Armed men killed a respected leader and took his wife and another person from their home in Nigeria. This happened in the southwest region.
People are unsure who these attackers are or if they want money for the hostages.
This terrible event comes after many others like it, with people demanding urgent action from the government.
Even though the law says no to paying ransom, many families still do because they feel they have no other choice.
The local governor promises to catch the criminals, and the police are searching for them.
This kind of violence is becoming too common in Nigeria, where traditional leaders play an important role in community life.
Just this week, kidnappers took schoolchildren and teachers for ransom in another state. This problem is spreading, with even government officials and children being targeted.
It’s a scary situation for many people in Nigeria.
