Toddler kidnapped for ransom dies days after release from months-long hostage
Toddler Ewhalshoh Mandela Mairabo spent three months in captivity, but five days after she and her mother regained freedom, she lost the fight to live.
Her mother is also struggling to stay alive in hospital where she’s receiving treatment; she will now be more heartbroken.
It’s one of the experiences of 29 locals who bandits raided and kidnapped at Dogon-noma in Maro Ward, Kajuru, Kaduna in May.
According to Istifanus Ego Destiny, the bandits released the hostages and her child after N5 million in ransom and two motorcycles late August.
But the girl died September 4.
Since the displaced terrorists from Sambisa, Borno, northeast, fanned out across the northwest, some local government areas in Kaduna South have been at the mercy of the terrorists—and bandits from Zamfara.
