Briefing Journalists in Kaduna at the weekend, the father of the abducted children, Malam AbdulWahab Yusuf said the bandits broke into their Mando home at about 1:05 am, abducted the pregnant woman and her two sisters who were taking care of their ailing mother.
Asked how the incidence had affected the sick mother, Mr. Yusuf revealed that their mother has been confined to a wheelchair as a result of the trauma she was passing since the news of their abduction.
He said, “My two daughters used to take care of their mother who is sick. That day their elder sister, who is pregnant came from her husband’s house to look after her mother,” he said.
“The bandits broke into the house, I ran out and jumped the back fence but my three daughters were kidnapped and taken to the forest.
“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 wife, who was able to walk unaided before the incident, now uses a wheelchair. We just carried out surgery on her. I have not been myself, I cannot sleep, once it is night, I don’t know how my body feels.”
Also speaking, the elder brother of the kidnapped sisters, Kabiru Yusuf said, “we are appealing to the Federal Government, Kaduna State government charity organisations, philanthropists and well-spirited individuals to assist us in securing their release.
“We don’t want anything to happen to them, If anything happens to them only God knows what effect it would have on our mother, who is now in a wheelchair because of their abduction.”
The husband of the abducted nursing mother who gave birth in captivity, Mr. Mohammed Alabi said”I am just a walking corpse.
“My pregnant wife left my house to her parent’s house to cater for her sick mother, only for me to receive a call that they have been kidnapped with her sisters.
“She gave birth at the kidnappers’ camp on Friday, August 2nd, mother and child are not feeling fine, they have not received any medical care. The baby used to cry from night till morning inside the forest. We learnt they were being mistreated, and flogged,” he said.
