One of the uncles of the 5 kidnapped sisters of an Abuja estate, Jamiu Salman has recounted the heartbreaking experience of how the kidnappers instructed them to come to the forest and identify their family members.
A few weeks ago, 5 sisters were abducted with their father. Their father was later let go to source for ransom for their release. Miffed by the delay in remitting the N100 million the ransom they demanded, the kidnappers m*rdered one of the girls.
Their uncle, Salman said that those who k!lled Al Khadriya Nabeeha instructed them to go and identify her body among those k!lled by the group. He stated that the gang leader alerted them of the urgency of the identification process to prevent the bodies from being mutilated by animals.
He revealed that the next morning, with the assistance of a local familiar with the area, they discovered four corpses—three females and one male. According to him, a photograph of the bodies was taken and sent via WhatsApp and through this process, they identified the deceased as Nabeeha.
He said in an interview with Daily Trust TV, ”The Kidnappers leader said we should go that night or we should go early in the morning. The Kidnappers leader said we should go and identify our own from the people they killed. He said we should go so that dog will not mutilate the body, so that we will not accuse them of raping our child.
“So in the morning, we didn’t know the one they killed because they didn’t give us a name. We got an indigene of Bwari that knows those terrains very well. We asked the man to go on bike. On getting there, he said he saw four corpses, three females and one male. We asked him to take a picture of the Corps so that we could identify if one of our girls was there. So he did that and sent it through WhatsApp. We were able to identify that it was Nabeeha that they killed.”
