Kidnappers Kill 13-Year-Old Teenager Abducted In Abuja

Kidnappers have Killed a 13-year-old teenager abducted in Abuja.

 

Glamtush reports that kidnappers have reportedly killed three of 11 residents of the Sagwari Estate Layout in the Dutsen-Alhaji area of the Federal Capital Territory, including a 13-year-old secondary school student identified as Folorunsho Ariyo.

Kidnappers had invaded the Sagwari community on Sunday, January 7, at about 7:30 pm, and kidnapped 11 residents, including a mother and her four children, and a receptionist and barman from a nearby hotel.

A staff member of the hotel had narrated to our correspondent that the gunmen had invaded the community dressed as military men and taken their victims up to the mountain while a pastor escaped, adding that joint efforts by the estate security and some police officers to trail the kidnappers had proved abortive, as they could neither find the kidnappers nor their victims.

It was gathered that the late Folashade, whose corpse was dumped alongside three others, including Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, around a former military checkpoint behind Idah junction along the Bwari-Jere SCC Road in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State, was identified as the daughter of Ekiti state-born Chief Legal Officer of the National Universities Commission.

Meanwhile, the kidnappers, who cited delays in paying the demanded N60m ransom for each of the victims, have now reportedly increased their demand from the families of the remaining seven victims to N100m ransom for each one of the victims.

Details of Folashade’s death have caused an uproar among Nigerians, who have now called on the authorities to bring an end to insecurity in the nation’s capital, noting that the territory had never been so unsafe.

One of the kidnap victims, Najeebah was reportedly killed by the men who abducted her and five other sisters in Abuja.

Najeebah and her sisters were abducted on January 9, alongside their father.

The gunmen later released their father, asking him to go get N60m as ransom for the release of his daughters before Friday, January 12.

In a bid to raise money, Nigerians were urged to donate whatever they have into a bank account, but not enough money was gathered as of Friday.

Consequently, the hoodlums reportedly killed Najeebah, the oldest of the six girls, and dumped her body somewhere for her parents to bury.

The teenage girl was buried on Sunday, January 14, in Dutse Cemetery, Abuja while the other members of the family remain with their abductors.
