Seven-Year-Old Abdullahi Rabi’u Found Dead After Ransom

In the Majema area along Ring Road in the Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State, a seven-year-old boy named Abdullahi Rabi’u was found dead shortly after suspected kidnappers demanded a ransom of N2.5 million. His uncle, Sukairaj Danladi Gado, stated that Abdullahi was sent on an errand on Monday evening but did not return home, prompting the family to search for him.

On Tuesday morning, they received a call from an unknown number informing them of the kidnapping and the ransom demand. Despite their willingness to pay the ransom to secure Abdullahi's safe return, the family was devastated to learn later that his body had been discovered in a narrow passage near their home.

Gado expressed the family's grief and urged security agencies to investigate the incident thoroughly and apprehend those responsible. The Plateau State Police Command had not responded to inquiries regarding the case as of Wednesday.
