In a shocking turn of events, bandits in Katsina State have kidnapped a mother who was attempting to secure the release of her abducted daughter, Wasila Nasiru.
The incident occurred last week in the Batsari Local Government Area.
According to conflict and crisis journalist Bakatsine, the mother was taken captive while delivering the ransom demanded by the bandits. The criminals have since denied having custody of Wasila, leaving the family in a state of despair.
The abducted mother left behind a six-month-old infant, abandoned by the bandits in Wagini.
The child’s father, Malam Nasiru Baro, who is already in poor health, is now burdened with the care of eight children. The family is desperately seeking help to navigate this challenging situation.
