Recently, kidnappers abducted a teenage girl alongsides her mother and three siblings in Abuja.

The girl, Folorunsho Ariyo, was a secondary school student and she was kidnapped in the Dutse axis of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Abuja.

Now, she has been killed by her abductors after her family failed to pay a 60,000 ransom.

It was reported that gunmen invaded Sagwari Layout Estate in Dutse on Sunday, January 7, 2024, and kidnapped 10 residents, including Miss Ariyo, her mother, and three siblings.

Talks Were Ongoing

Also, it was gathered that Folorunsho and Nabeeeha Al-Kadriyar’s remains were among four corpses of kidnapped victims dumped at Ida, near Ushafa in Bwari Area Council.

According to the Nigerian Tribune, the teenager was the daughter of the Ekiti State-born Chief Legal Officer of the National University Commission (NUC).

Family sources told the publication that the kidnappers had demanded the sum of 60 million in ransom. They promised to release members of the Ariyo family, once that amount was provided.

But the Ariyo family could only raise about 5 million.

“Talks were still ongoing, and as of last Friday, we were optimistic of a positive outcome until we were contacted to pick up her body,” a family source said.
