A group of terrorists have threatened to murder a nursing mother and her newborn baby if the family fails to pay a ransom of 50 million naira.
The bandits broke into Tudun Mun Tsira Village of Zangon Shanu, Samaru in Sabon Gari local government area of Kaduna State on Friday, July 17, 2022, and kidnapped the heavily pregnant woman who had come to visit her sick mother.
She later gave birth while in captivity.
Kabir Yusuf, the victim’s younger brother, told journalists in Kaduna on Monday that the bandits reached out to them and demanded a ransom of 50 million which must be paid within a day or they would kill the murder and newborn.
Yusuf, who has been negotiating with the terrorists 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.
He said that the family have sold all they could and raised a sum of N6.5million but the bandits rejected the amount.
He explained that they appealed to the kidnappers to accept the money as it was all they could raise but they blatantly refused.
When contacted, the Kaduna Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Mohammed Jalige, did not pick his call for confirmation.
