After two weeks in captivity, five abducted Abuja sisters finally set free

The remaining five of the six sisters who were kidnapped by terrorists in the Bwari area of Abuja have finally regained freedom after two weeks in captivity.

The girls were released on Saturday night, according to their uncle, Mr. Kabiru Aminu, who disclosed the good news on his X handle.

“#Najeebahandhersisters are home right now, someone please wake me up!

“#Najeebahandhersisters. These girls are strong,” Mr. Aminu wrote while posting a video showing the sisters and their relatives jubilating.

Persecondnews recalls that the six sisters were taken hostage in the Abuja suburb of Bwari, along with their father, Mansoor Al-Kadriyar.

The gunmen, who had reportedly demanded N60 million to free the remaining abductees, released their father to go and mobilize funds for the ransom.

Sadly, the kidnappers killed the eldest of the sisters, Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, a 400-level biological science student at Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, because the ransom payment was late.

The tragic killing of Nabeeha sparked public outrage, which led to crowdfunding from netizens to release the remaining sisters.
