A Kaduna-based philanthropist and member of the Southern Kaduna Peace Committee, Ramatu Abarshi and her daughter have been reportedly kidnapped along the Kaduna-Kachia road.
They were kidnapped on their way from Mariri village in Kajuru local government area of the state on Saturday where they had gone to distribute relief materials, including Sallah clothing, to children orphaned by banditry.
Although the Kaduna Police Command has yet to confirm the incident, the bandits are said to have pursued, attacked, and kidnapped the victims in Kasuwan Magani.
Meanwhile, a family friend of the kidnapped victim told journalists that the bandits had made contact with the victims’ families and demanded N100 million for Mrs Ramatu and her daughter’s release.
