Former Vice President and 2023 presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has expressed deep sorrow over the brutal murder of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, a victim of abduction in Abuja. Atiku, in a statement shared on his official X handle, lamented the unhindered operations of kidnappers and bandits in Nigeria, citing Nabeeha's tragic case as a stark reminder.
He called for a comprehensive overhaul of the country's security architecture to curb the activities of criminal elements and ensure the safety of lives and property. Atiku urged security agencies to intensify efforts in rescuing the remaining abductees.
The incident, involving the kidnapping of Alhaji Mansoor Al-Kadriyar and his children, sparked outrage on social media, with the kidnappers initially demanding a ransom of N60 million, later increased to N100 million after Nabeeha's untimely death.
The nation mourns the loss of the 400-level ABU student, and the call for justice resonates across Nigeria.
