After collecting N10 million, bandits released the wife and two daughters of Dr. Abdurrazak Muazu, a lecturer at the Federal College of Education Technical Gusau in Zamfara State.
According to a family member, Mohammed Bello, the victims were released in the early hours of Monday after the bandits, who had originally sought N50 million, agreed to settle for N10 million.
Binta Umar Jabaka and her two children, Maryam Abdurrazak and Hafsat Abdurrazak, were kidnapped at 1 a.m. on Saturday, January 1, 2022, in their home in Mareri village, on the outskirts of Gusau town.
Mohammad Lawal, a member of the institution’s staff, told The PUNCH that the gunmen broke inside the house of Dr. Abdurrazak and tried to kidnap him, but he couldn’t see him since he was hiding in the ceiling when he heard their movements.
Lawal said, “The gunmen jumped over the wall and entered into Dr Abdurrazak’s residence in order to kidnap him but he escaped through the ceiling”.
“They searched the house for over an hour looking for him, but when they could not see him, they abducted his wife, Binta and his two daughters, Maryam and Hafsat”.
