The four remaining sisters of the Abuja-based lady shot dead by kidnappers, Nabeeha Al-Kadriyah, have regained freedom from their abductors.
The development was confirmed by the family of the kidnap victims in a statement in the early hours of Sunday.
However, it was not certain as at press time if it is government security apparatus efforts that led to their freedom or payment of ransom.
It would ve recalled that the sisters were abducted alongside their father early in January.
When their demand for ransom payment was not met, the kidnappers killed Al-Kadriyah.
They also killed a 13-year-old schoolboy abducted alongside the family of seven.
Those who were freed by their abductors late on Saturday were Najeeba, a 500-level Quantity Surveying student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State; her younger sister, Nadherah, a 300-level Zoology student of ABU; and their twin sisters: Habeeba and Haneesa.
The family in the statement signed by Sherifdeen Al-Kadriyah, said: “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 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.”
