The events occured in Batsari Local Government Area, where the kidnappers had demanded ransom for the daughter’s freedom.
However, instead of releasing the daughter, the bandits seized the mother, leaving behind a six-month-old baby.
According to a tweet by Bakatsine, a conflict and crisis journalist, “Nasiru Baro’s wife went to deliver the ransom for their kidnapped daughter, Wasila Nasiru, that was abducted last week but the bandits took her too and now claim they don’t have the child.”
The family’s ordeal began with the daughter’s abduction last week.
The kidnappers contacted the family, demanding payment and the mother went to deliver the ransom but was taken instead, and now the kidnappers deny holding the daughter.
“She left behind a 6-month-old baby, abandoned by the bandits in Wagini, Batsari LGA, Katsina State. Malam Nasiru Baro, struggling with poor health, is now left with 8 children and no way to support them since Wednesday morning,” Bakatsine added.
