In her words, “We spoke on Thursday, and she told me there is an ongoing strike in her school. I sent her N5,000 as transport fare to come back home only for me to receive the news of her abduction.
“I have only been hearing about kidnapping in the news, but I never thought someone close to me would be a victim. I am appealing to the authorities to help me rescue my daughter.
“I am scared because her brother who visited the police station gathered that the abductors had reached out to some relatives, but they have yet to reach out to us. The government should help me.”
The student’s brother, who wished to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation from the kidnappers, confirmed that the family had not received any demands or communication from the kidnappers. He expressed that the family has been in distress since the incident occurred.

He stated, “We have yet to receive any call or message from them to know what they want. When I visited the police station, I gathered that some families of other persons who were abducted have been contacted and asked to pay N10m for each individual.
“The incident has put the family in distress, and we hope that the authorities will do something quickly to rescue the abducted persons. We are urging the police and the Federal Government to help us rescue our relatives unhurt.”
