She appealed to the parents, especially mothers, to pray for their children and for peace to prevail in the country.
“I implore our security agencies to intensify their efforts in addressing the pressing matter of kidnappings and insecurity in our nation. The safety and swift return of the Al-Kadriyar sisters and others in captivity should be our paramount concern,” she added.
Nabeeha and her sisters were abducted from their residence in the Bwari Area Council of the FCT on January 2, along with their father, Mansoor Al-Kadriyar, who was later released by the kidnappers to raise a ransom of ₦60 million.
However, the kidnappers increased the ransom to ₦100 million and killed Nabeeha when the deadline was not met. They have threatened to kill the remaining five sisters if the ransom is not paid by January 17.
