The family of a baker, Plangdes Nelson, popularly known as Allwell Nelson, has appealed to the Plateau State government and the Nigeria Police to rescue their daughter from kidnappers.

On Sunday, September 14, 2025, at about 10:00 p.m., kidnappers broke into the family’s residence in Dong, Jos North Local Council, and abducted Plangdes along with her cousin, Bright Bernard.

Narrating the incident, her brother, Joseph Jwanshak, said there had been a downpour that evening when they heard a loud noise at the window as the kidnappers attempted to break through. “The iron was too hard for them to access, so they opted for the main door and forced their way in,” he explained.

“One person went through the back door to call for help, but it was difficult due to the downpour. They forced open the other door, collected phones, packed food items and left with Allwell and her cousin, Bright Bernard, a student at the University of Jos who had just finished his exams and came to relax,” he added.

When asked if the kidnappers had demanded ransom, Jwanshak said: “They called on Monday, September 15, 2025, demanding N50 million as ransom. Soldiers came to the area the next morning, but it seems like nothing is happening. The kidnappers also called on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, demanding the same amount. The situation is traumatising.”

Her friend, Eva James, said: “Allwell Nelson was kidnapped in Dong, Plateau State and is still in the hands of these monsters.”

Another supporter, Zariyi Yusuf, expressed concern, saying: “While we expect Plateau State Governor, Caleb Mutfwang, the Nigeria Police, and those in the right positions to bring her back home safely, we pray that the Lord watches over her and keeps her from any harm in the hands of the kidnappers.”

She is a young baker and a beautiful soul making us proud from Plateau.”

When contacted, spokesperson of the Plateau State Police Command, Alfred Alabo, said: “Our men are working on the matter, and by the grace of God, we are hoping for success.”

KIDfurniture:
Don't violate the privacy of any people e.g. by posting their private pics, info, or chats without permission

Not good

Zocalite:
Kidnappers will be calling with gsm line and they won't be caught

They will collect ransome in personal account they won't be caught

They will be living among residents, still they won't be caught

We have dss, army, police, vigilante etc

Surely nigeria is a evil forest

.....

I pray she's delivered by the mighty hands of Jesus Christ Amen

wallrichy:
May she returned alive and unmolested in Jesus name... Amen....Come to think of it....After her return, can she ever be convinced to continue living in this country or that side of the country? Can anybody blame her from Japaing even if it's to Japa and be doing cleaning work abroad? .....it's like when people say anything, anywhere out of this country is better even though you are making 1M Naira everyday in Nigeria, it's still far better to be outside the country and be safe and whole......it's so sad ...

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Thats why they don't want to declare kidnapping as a capital offence punishable by the death penalty, because they all partake in it, they are involved in it, they all eat the bread of wickedness

No where in the world is 100% safe, there is crime everywhere.

Guardian Newspaper has a picture of her on their Website. The story is in the public domain

But there are level of insecurity. I accept that there's no where secured 100% in the world but Nigeria own Insecurity is 80% guaranteed. You can be rest assured that kidnappers will strike again this evening in a particular place, you can also prophesy that somebody's skull will be mined before the end of the week at a particular location....no evil is beyond anybody's imagination, definitely it would happen at a point in time......that's Nigeria
