Kaduna: Bandits threaten to kill nursing mother, child if ransom is not paid

Bandits have threatened to kill a nursing mother and her child if her relatives do not pay a N50 million ransom.

Recall how on Friday, July 17, 2022, early on, some bandits broke into Tudun Mun Tsira Village of Zangon Shanu, Samaru in Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State and kidnapped the heavily pregnant woman who had come to see her sick mother.

She later gave birth in the kidnappers’ den.

Kabir Yusuf, the victim’s younger brother, told journalists in Kaduna on Monday that the bandits had called and threatened to kill the mother and child if N50 million was not paid within a day.

Yusuf, who has been negotiating with the bandits since his sister was abducted, called on well-meaning Nigerians to come to their aid by donating generosity to save his sister from the hand of bandits

According to him, he had begged the abductors and told them that the family had sold everything they had to raise N6.5million, but the bandits rejected it.

The Kaduna Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mohammed Jalige, did not pick his call when contacted for confirmation.
