Abducted NYSC Member Feared Killed By Terrorists After Family Paid N10million Ransom

Family members of an abducted National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, identified as Abba, have claimed he has been killed by his kidnappers despite paying a ransom of N10million for his release.

According to reports, the family said communication with the kidnappers suddenly stopped after the ransom was paid, deepening fears that the corps member may have been murdered.

Family sources revealed that the abductors had initially demanded N10million for his release but later made fresh demands after receiving the money.

According to them, the kidnappers also requested motorcycles in addition to the ransom already paid.

“Since receiving the N10 million ransom payment, Abba’s abductors have completely cut off all communication with the family,” the sources said, according to a security analyst and counter-insurgency expert, Zagazola Makama.

The family said it had decided not to comply with any further demands following the abrupt silence from the abductors.

As a result of the development, the family said it had begun arrangements to conduct funeral prayers for the corps member in absentia in line with Islamic traditions.

“Abba’s family are preparing to hold his Janaza prayer (Gha’ib) on Friday, March 6, in accordance with Islamic rules,” the family said.

They also expressed appreciation to individuals and groups who supported them during the ordeal.

“Abba’s family wishes to express profound gratitude to everyone who offered support, prayers, donations and kind words during this difficult period.

“May the Almighty reward your generosity abundantly,” the family added.

The relatives also said they were still holding onto hope that the corps member might be alive.

“If he has passed on, may Allah forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds and grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus,” a family member said.

The deceased had earlier cried out for urgent help after terrorists locally dubbed as bandits subjected him to severe torture in captivity.

The criminals repeatedly beat, kicked and humiliated the corps member while he desperately pleaded for his life.

In a disturbing video obtained by SaharaReporters, the helpless corps member speaking in hausa language, was seen surrounded by bandits who continuously flogged and assaulted him despite his repeated appeals in the name of God.

The footage shows the visibly exhausted and injured corps member lying helplessly on the ground as the attackers struck him mercilessly with long sticks while others punched and kicked him without restraint.

Throughout the video, the victim could be heard crying and begging Nigerians for intervention, saying his life was slipping away due to the relentless torture.

“Please help me for God’s sake, please help my life. I may soon die in this situation,” the distraught corps member pleaded in agony.

Despite his desperate cries, the attackers continued the assault.

Two of the bandits were seen flogging him repeatedly with long sticks and violently punched him, kicked him and smashed him onto the ground.

The corps member, visibly weak and struggling to breathe, continued begging for mercy, invoking religious appeals in an attempt to soften his captors.

“For the sake of Allah, please help me. For the sake of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W), please help me. Please help my life,” he cried.

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

This is the reason some spend more fortune to japa this Nigeria. Can any amount of money buy this guy's life back if he is murdered! I truly hope he is still alive. For anyone reading my comment, this kidnapped guy's predicament can befall us or anyone so close to us, hence the reason we should all be deeply concerned about this kidnapping issue.

It is very glaring that the government of the day doesn't even care about the people it has called to service. If you had seen the video where the boy is beaten earlier and tormented, you may be moved to tears. He was flogged like a thief and stomped severally on the chest.

The boy is likely gonna be a muslim from indications and it is still the same religion he believes in is dealing with him that way. The solution to this thing is firstly dividing the country to allow people go there different ways and the christians in the Arid, hateful and religious intolerant North can simply start a new life in the south.

If left like as it is presently, there is nothing that will be done neither will things get any better. Islam is a menance on its own.
