A heart-wrenching turn of events unfolded as Folorunsho Ariyo, a secondary school student abducted in the Dutse area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), met a tragic end at the hands of her captors.
Gunmen raided Sagwari Layout Estate in Dutse on January 7, 2024, seizing ten residents, including Miss Ariyo, her mother, and three siblings, as reported by LIB.
Folorunsho and Nabeeeha Al-kadriyar’s lifeless bodies were among four victims dumped near Ushafa in Bwari Area Council, specifically at Ida.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, the teenager was the daughter of the Chief Legal Officer of the National University Commission (NUC), hailing from Ekiti State.
The Ariyo family faced a harrowing ordeal as the kidnappers demanded a hefty N60 million ransom. Despite their efforts, the family could only raise about N5 million.
“Talks were still ongoing, and as of last Friday, we were optimistic of a positive outcome until we were contacted to pick up her body,” revealed a family source.
The community mourned the loss as the teenage girl was laid to rest on January 14, 2024, in Dutse Cemetery, Abuja. Meanwhile, the remaining family members continue to be held by their abductors, adding to the distressing aftermath of this tragic incident.
