Nasarawa Teacher Abducted, Family Faces N50m Ransom Demand

Mrs Amina Hussaini, a classroom teacher at Central Pilot Primary School in Kuru, Toto local government area, was abducted from her home on Tuesday. Her kidnappers have demanded a ransom of N50 million for her release.

A family member, Suwaiba Abdullahi, reported that Mrs Hussaini, who is married, has been in captivity since the incident. The family has called for urgent intervention from the public, security agencies, and the Nasarawa State government to secure her safe and unconditional release.

This abduction has occurred amid increasing security issues in Toto and surrounding areas. In response, the Nasarawa State Police Command has initiated a major operation to combat banditry and kidnapping, deploying tactical squads and anti-kidnapping units to identified hotspots.

The Commissioner of Police, Mr Shetima Mohammed, stated that operations have been expanded to forested areas within Akwanga and Toto LGAs. The abduction has instilled fear in the local school community, prompting calls for enhanced security measures.
