Sisters who were abducted alongside their father in Abuja on December 26 2023, have now been freed, FTN reports.
Early on Sunday,, a video showing the girls celebrating their release was circulated on social media.
A source familiar with the matter also confirmed the news to our correspondent early Sunday morning.
The ordeal began when the bandits abducted Alhaji Mansoor Al-Kadriyar and his six children from their home in the Bwari Area Council of Abuja. During the abduction, the kidnappers shot dead Alhaji Mansoor’s brother, Abdulfatai, who had earlier alerted the police.
It was gathered that the gunmen later released their father, asking him to go get N60m as ransom for the release of her daughters before Friday, January 12.
Recall that one of the sisters, identified as Nabeeha, had then been reportedly killed by the gunmen.
