Zamfara Kidnapped Police Chaplain, Daughter Seek Help To Regain Freedom

After being taken away by suspected terrorists, Pastor Isa Andrew, the chaplain of the All Saints Police Protestant Church, Mopol 42 Mobile-Based in Gusau, and his 13-year-old daughter Grace have begged Oluremi Tinubu, the First Lady of Nigeria, and other Nigerians to assist them in regaining their freedom from the terrorists.

In a widely shared two-minute, forty-four-second (2:44s) video, their kidnappers made the appeal and threatened to marry off his 13-year-old daughter, who is being held captive with her father, unless they produced an additional N6 million naira, two boxer motorcycles, and one Honda motorcycle by next Thursday.

Pastor Andrew and his daughter, Grace were abducted at their residence behind the Karma Hotel bypass in Gusau on the 14th of July, 2024 and have been in the terrorists’ enclave for about four weeks now.

According to Pastor Andrew, his family had negotiated with the terrorists and paid N6 million as ransom after it had sold all the items they had and received assistance from people of goodwill.

He said their abductors are still demanding an additional six million naira, two boxer motorcycles and one Honda motorcycle before they would free them.

The cleric cried out that his daughter had been exposed to mistreatment which is why he is appealing to the First Lady and other concerned Nigerians to assist them in regaining freedom.

He also disclosed that he has suffered from diabetes and the continued staying in the terrorists’ enclave is worsening his health situation.

Earlier, the abductors had demanded N60 million which the wife of the victim had negotiated with them and they accepted to receive six million naira.
