Nabeeha's sisters regain freedom from Abuja kidnappers

The kidnappers killed Nabeeha after her father failed to meet the deadline he was given to pay ₦60m ransom.

The remaining siblings of the late Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah, who were kidnapped in the Bwari area of Abuja, have regained freedom from their abductors.

The six sisters were kidnapped alongside their father at their home on January 2, 2024.

The kidnappers later released the father and gave him a deadline of Friday, January 12, to produce ₦60m ransome for the release of his daughters.

Having failed to meet the deadline, the bandits killed the eldest of the six girls on Friday, January 12, 2024, and dumped her body for her parents to bury.

But the remaining girls regained freedom late at night on Saturday, January 20, 2024, and arrived at their Abuja residence, where they were abducted.

As of the time of filing this report, Pulse can't independently verify if the girls were rescued by security operatives or if their family paid a ransom to the abductors to secure their release.

But they were reportedly escorted home by security operatives and received by their excited family members.

Confirming the development, the girls’s uncle, Kabiru Aminu, posted a video on his X handle @kabiru_aminu, showing the sisters and their relatives jubilating.

“#Najeebahandhersisters are home right now, someone please wake me up!” he tweeted.

In a follow-up tweet, he said, “#Najeebahandhersisters. These girls are strong.”

By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). This policy aims to improve academic standards, ensuring that no student skips essential academic requirements before entering the NYSC scheme . On the surface, this sounds like a laudable idea, but a deeper look reveals a different reality. In many universities, students are allowed to graduate and mobilised for NYSC  ...
