The four female abductees, who were kidnapped along the Birnin Magaji-Kaura Namoda Road six months ago while returning from a wedding, have revealed that the terrorists have threatened to marry them off if their parents fail to pay a N12 million ransom within one week.
The abductees, including a student of the Zamfara State College of Arts and Science, made the revelation in a two minutes 19 seconds video, on Saturday.
They have been identified as Ummukhair, Aisha Yahaya, Jemila Yahaya, and Ummu Sani.
‘Secure our Freedom’
“We are begging you, parents, in the name of God. We are in trouble here with our abductors. Please, look for money to secure our freedom,” they pleaded.
“The past government of Governor Bello Matawalle failed to secure our release. This is our sixth month and some days in captivity. We are begging the Governor Dauda Lawal-led administration to do something,” the abductees said in the video.
An elder brother to one of the victims, Aminu Yahaya told Channels Television that six of the girls were kidnapped while two of them were released after the payment of a N6 million ransom.
“I was the one that took the other ransom of N6 million to them before they released two girls,” he added. “Now they are giving us a one-week ultimatum to pay N12 million or else they will marry off our sisters.”
He thus appealed to the state government and citizens to come to their aid.
