Mansur Al-Kadriyar, the father of six girls abducted in the Bwari area council of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, has recounted his ordeal while in captivity.
Al-Kadriyar narrated his experience during an interview with Arise TV yesterday.
The father of six girls was abducted alongside his daughters when bandits attacked his residence in Zuma 1, Bwari area of Abuja on January 2.
During the attack, Abdulfatai Al-Kadriyar, Mansur’s younger brother, who led a team of police officers to the location of the attack was killed during a gun battle with the bandits.
Two police officers who engaged the bandits in a shootout were also injured.
The bandits later released the father of the girls to look for the ransom to release his daughters.
Members of the family took to social media to solicit financial support from Nigerians to raise N60 million.
After about two weeks in captivity, the bandits killed Nabeeha, one of the girls, over the inability of the family to pay the ransom demanded.
The abductors reportedly increased the ransom to N100 million and threatened to kill more girls if the money was not paid.
Reacting to the development, the police promised to work on a “comprehensive plan” to ensure the girls and others abducted were rescued.
The remaining five girls regained freedom on Saturday night after spending 18 days in captivity.
