Four surviving sisters of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah, whom kidnappers slew after taking them from their Abuja home, have regained their freedom from captivity.
They reportedly regained freedom and arrived at their Abuja residence where they were abducted late on Saturday.
Security operatives were said to have escorted them home from the kidnappers’ drop zone.
Originally abducted in Abuja alongside their father early January, the sisters had been left in captivity after their Dad was released to source their ransom.
Failure of the family to meet the abductors’ deadline led to the killing of Nabeeha, whose body was dumped in Abuja and has since been buried.
Subsequently, the killers raised the ransom from N60 million to N100 million, and threatened to kill the remaining sisters.
The four victims are Najeeba, a 500-level Quantity Surveying student, her younger sister Nadherah, 300-level Zoology student, both of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU) Zaria and their twin sisters, Habeeba and Haneesa.
In a statement signed by Sherifdeen Al-Kadriyah, the family thanked Nigerians for standing by them during the trying and traumatic period.
“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.
“However, amidst our celebration and gratitude, we must remember and pray for those who have lost their lives during this process. Their sacrifices must not go unnoticed, and their families must be in our prayers and thoughts.
“May Allah grant them the highest ranks in Jannah, enveloping them with His mercy and forgiveness. May He bring comfort and peace to their grieving families, providing them with strength to endure their loss.
“Our beloved daughters have shown remarkable strength and resilience, and we are overjoyed to have them back in our arms. Their bravery and courage during their time held captive will forever inspire us all. May Allah bless and protect every one of these incredible young women and grant them emotional healing and strength in the days to come.”
