Family of a housewife who gave birth in terrorists’  captivity has cried  to the  Federal Government and Kaduna State Government for help, as terrorists have demanded N50 million ransom to release the nursing mother and her two sisters.

The three sisters were abducted on July 17, 2022, from their family house in Mando,  on the outskirts of Kaduna, where they were tending to their sick mother. Their mother, who could walk unaided before their capture, has now been confined to the wheelchair due to the trauma of her children’s abduction.

The eldest of the sisters, who was heavily pregnant when they were kidnapped, has given birth in captivity without recourse to medical or human care for both mother and child.

The husband to the nursing mother  and father of three including the baby born in captivity, Mohammed Alabi, has appealed to the FG ,state  government,  organisations, and well meaning individuals to come to their aid as the two children at home were asking for their mother

“We learnt  that the victims are being mistreated, flogged. Our two children at home used to cry everyday telling me ‘daddy go and bring our mother’ and I don’t know what to tell them.

“We are all dying emotionally and physically. We are appealing to whoever God will use to secure their release to please help us free them.

“They asked for N140 million, but now they have reduced the ransom to N50 million. The family has been adversely affected by the trauma.

“My wive, who was able to walk unaided before the incident, now uses wheelchair. We just carried out a surgery on her. I have not been myself, I cannot sleep, once it is night I don’t know how my body feels.”
