The four remaining siblings of the late Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah have regained freedom.
ROYAL NEWS earlier reported that the victims were abducted on Tuesday night, January 2, 2024, in the Bwari Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory.
The bandits later freed the father to go and look for the ransom to secure the release of his children. His brother, Alhaji Abdulfatai, who led policemen to foil their abduction, was shot dead by the bandits. The bandits also killed one of the girls due to the failure of the ransom payment.
A statement released by the FCT police command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adah, today says the victims were rescued from Kajuru forest in Kaduna state at about 11:30 pm on Saturday 20th January 2024.

In a statement released, the uncle of the victims, Sherifdeen Al-Kadriyah, thanked Nigerians for standing by them during the trying and traumatic period.
“Words cannot express the immense gratitude and relief we feel at this moment. It is a true testament to the power of faith and the unwavering support and prayers from every one of you. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank Allah for His mercy and guidance throughout this difficult time.
However, amidst our celebration and gratitude, we must remember and pray for those who have lost their lives during this process. Their sacrifices must not go unnoticed, and their families must be in our prayers and thoughts.
May Allah grant them the highest ranks in Jannah, enveloping them with His mercy and forgiveness. May He bring comfort and peace to their grieving families, providing them with the strength to endure their loss.
Our beloved daughters have shown remarkable strength and resilience, and we are overjoyed to have them back in our arms. Their bravery and courage during their time held captive will forever inspire us all. May Allah bless and protect every one of these incredible young women and grant them emotional healing and strength in the days to come”.
