Mr Oladosu Ariyo, the father of Folorunsho who was killed alongside Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar by bandits in the FCT, has made a revelation.

City & Crime had reported how kidnappers dumped the remains of four victims they executed around a former military checkpoint behind Idah Junction on the Bwari-Jere SCC Road in Kagarko LGA of Kaduna State.

Among the corpses so far  identified were a secondary school student, Folorunsho Ariyo, identified as the daughter of  the Chief Legal Officer of the National Universities Commission (NUC); and a 500-level student of  the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar.

While Ariyo was abducted along with her mother and three siblings two Sundays ago, Nabeeha was seized with her father and five of her female siblings on January 9.

An X user, @kcuzoka, in a post on Monday evening, quoted Ariyo as saying his 13-year-old daughter was killed despite having raised N7m of the earlier demanded N60m, which the kidnappers refused to collect.

In the shared post, Ariyo was said to have narrated how the kidnappers threatened to kill his wife and his three remaining children who were minors and were still in captivity.

The post reads in part: “Dear seniors and colleagues, most respectfully, I’m Oladosu Folorunso Ariyo, a lawyer working in Abuja. On Sunday evening, the 7th of January 2024, around 7:30pm, a band of kidnappers dressed in full military camo invaded my home located at Sagwari Layout Estate in Dutse, Abuja.

“They kidnapped my wife (who is also a lawyer) and our four children. The kidnappers called and demanded a 60 million ransom, out of which through generous donations of friends and family, I was able to raise N7m, which they have refused to collect.

“As of today, they’ve killed my first born – Michelle Ariyo (13) and dumped her corpse on Kaduna Road, while threatening to kill my three remaining children (all minors) and wife who are still in captivity. Please and please sir, I urgently need the intervention of the NBA.”
