Abuja, Nigeria– The former Communications Minister, Isa Pantami, on Sunday disclosed that a generous friend has stepped forward to contribute N50 million towards the N60 million ransom demanded by the abductors of the late Najeebah and her sisters.
Recalled the family were ordered to pay a ransom of N60 million – 10 million for each girl – as ransom before Friday, January 12.
However, they were unable to raise the money and the assailants killed the oldest of the six girls, Najeebah, and dumped her body somewhere for her parents to bury.
In a recent post on his X handle, Pantami expressed his reluctance to endorse paying ransom to criminals. However, in light of Najeebah’s tragic death, he now sees paying the kidnappers as a viable option.
He posted this on his X handle ‘’Alhamdu lil Laah!
“I am personally not in support of paying ransom to criminals. However, since it becomes clear, we lost our daughter Nabeeha yesterday, and the 5 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,” he said.
