The remaining four siblings of the late Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah have successfully regained their freedom, as reported by Daily Trust. This family had experienced a tragic abduction incident earlier in January, where the sisters and their father were taken captive. The abductors had initially set a ransom deadline, and unfortunately, the failure of the family to meet this demand resulted in the tragic killing of Nabeeha.
Following the gruesome incident, the bandits callously increased the ransom from N60 million to N100 million, adding further threats to the remaining sisters’ lives. However, as of the latest update filed at 12:30 am on Sunday, the girls have been liberated and safely returned to their Abuja residence, the very location where they were initially abducted.
Security operatives played a crucial role in escorting the sisters back home, where they were warmly received by their family members. The four victims, namely Najeeba, a 500-level Quantity Surveying student, her younger sister Nadherah, a 300-level Zoology student, both from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria, and their twin sisters, Habeeba and Haneesa, are now free from the clutches of their captors.

Sherifdeen, the girls’ uncle, confirmed this positive development in a telephone conversation with our correspondent on Sunday morning, stating, “The girls’ release was secured late Saturday.” Despite the payment of the N100 million ransom, the bandits had kept the sisters in captivity for several days, keeping the family in suspense until the liberating events unfolded on Saturday night.
In a statement signed by Sherifdeen Al-Kadriyah, the family thanked the Nigerians for standing by them during the trying and traumatic period.
Hear him:“Words cannot express the immense gratitude and relief we feel at this moment. It is a true testament to the power of faith and the unwavering support and prayers from every one of you. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Allah for His mercy and guidance throughout this difficult time.
