Family Prays for Release of Kidnapped Woman and Children

Musa Gidado, a 60-year-old man from Abaonigbe Odilu community in Ilorin, Kwara State, reported that his wife and three children were kidnapped approximately three weeks ago. Initially, the kidnappers demanded a ransom of N500 million, which was later reduced to N100 million and then to N30 million after negotiations.

Gidado expressed that his family does not have the N3 million needed, let alone the N30 million. He mentioned hearing his wife crying during a phone call, indicating she was being tortured.

The police commissioner, Adekimi Ojo, stated that no arrests had been made in connection with the abduction, but efforts are ongoing to locate the kidnappers with the help of local vigilantes and members of Miyetti Allah. Gidado's family has turned to prayers for divine intervention in securing the release of the victims.
