The five remaining siblings of late Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah have finally regained freedom.
It may be recall that the sisters were
abducted alongside their father in the
Zuma 1 area of Bwari Area Council on
January 2nd.
Their father was later released to enable
him source for ransom.
However, the failure of the family to meet their demand within a deadline issued by the kidnappers led to the killing of Nabeeha.
After the young schoolgirl was killed by her abductors, the bandits raised the ransom from N60 million to N100 million with a threat to kill all the sisters.
The development attracted sympathy
from concerned Nigerians, who offered
assistance to ensure the remaining sisters were not killed.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Federal Capital Territory Police, FCT command, Josephine Adeh confirmed the release on Sunday morning.
Although there are indications that the
N100m was paid prior to their release, the PPRO said they were rescued by the FCT Anti-Kidnapping squad in a concerted effort with troops of the Nigerian Army.
She said the victims were rescued around Kajuru forest in Kaduna State, Saturday night.
“The operatives successfully rescued the
victims around Kajuru forest in Kaduna
state at about 11:30 pm on Saturday”, she said.
