Life of woman who gave birth inside kidnappers’ den at risk over N50m ransom
The life of a woman and her new born baby is at risk as her abductors have demanded a whopping N50 million ransom or have both killed within the next 48 hours.
The woman who was heavily pregnant was abducted in Kaduna state when some bandits invaded the Tudun Mun Tsira Village of Zangon Shanu, Samaru in Sabon Gari Local Government Area of the state on Friday, July 17, 2022, and abducted the heavily pregnant woman, who came to visit her sick mother.
The woman was to later give birth to a baby girl in the kidnappers’ den, according to the relative who claims to be the woman’s younger brother.

Narrating the incident to journalists on Monday, the woman’s brother who gave his name as Kabir Yusuf, said the bandits called the family earlier in the day and gave them two days to pay the N50 million ransom or they would kill the woman and her unborn child.
Yusuf, who said he had been the one negotiating with the bandits since his sister was abducted, called on well-meaning Nigerians to come to their aid by donating generously to save his sister from the hand of bandits.
According to Yusuf, the family had begged the abductors and offered the sum of N6.5 million they managed to raise after selling family property but the bandits have refused to back down.
Calls to the Kaduna State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Mohammed Jalige, to confirm the story before going to press were not responded to.
