Gunmen Demand N50m Ransom For Abducted Nasarawa Teacher

Gunmen have demanded N50m ransom for the discharge of a main faculty trainer, Amina Hussaini, kidnapped from her residence in Kuru group, Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State.

Hussaini, who teaches at an LEA Primary School locally, was kidnapped on Tuesday whereas her husband was away on an project in Lafia, the state capital.

Her sister, Suwaiba Abdullahi, confirmed the incident to our reporter by phone on Thursday, saying the household was struggling to boost the quantity demanded by the abductors.

According to her, the abductors contacted the household after the incident and insisted on N50m for the trainer’s launch.

Abdullahi stated efforts by a member of the family to barter a discount within the ransom failed after the abductors abruptly ended the decision.

She added that the household had been thrown into confusion and was interesting to members of the general public for monetary help to safe Hussaini’s launch.

The sufferer stays in captivity, whereas the incident has been reported to the police.

Abdullahi appealed to safety companies, the Nasarawa State Government and well-meaning Nigerians to intervene and guarantee her sister’s secure and unconditional launch.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Nasarawa State Police Command, SP Ramhan Nansel, stated he had seen experiences of the kidnapping on social media and would make enquiries earlier than offering additional data.
