Pantami’s Friend Offers To Pay N50m Ransom Of Nabeeha’s Sisters

A friend of the former Minister for Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Pantami, has offered to contribute N50 million to secure the release of the five remaining sisters who were abducted in Abuja.

The girls alongside their father were abducted in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory on January 09.

However, the abductors released the father to go and get a N60m ransom for the release of his girls before Friday, January 12

Osun Defender reported that the kidnappers killed the oldest of the sisters, following the failure to pay the ransom on Friday.

This was disclosed by Pantami in a tweet on his X handle on Sunday.

He wrote, “I am personally not in support of paying ransom to criminals. However, since it became clear, that we lost our daughter Nabeeha yesterday, and the five remaining daughters have been threatened, as I spoke with the father on the matter yesterday and today.

“Furthermore, I spoke with a friend and a brother who offered to pay the remaining 50 million Naira of the 60m immediately.

“I conveyed the account number of the father of our daughters, Mansoor Al-Kadriyar, to the friend and brother to send the money directly. Any additional amount earlier generated from yesterday, the father can use to treat the daughters and other family members in sha Allah.

“May the Almighty Allah reward the bother and friend with Jannatul Firdaus for the donation. May He also reward all those who contributed in any way with Jannatul Firdaus, too.

“May He also forgive Nabeeha and rescue her sisters. May the Almighty also help our security agencies to bring an end to these challenges. May Nigeria be a better place for all of us.”
