Tuesday, September 3, 2024 - More details have emerged on the murder of a 19-year-old student, Anas Zubairu in Nasarawa State.
Zubairu was kidnapped last Friday evening
around 6 p.m. in Lafia and killed by his abductors after ransom payment.
According to Daily Trust, the family of the deceased paid N17m ransom for his
release.
The publication disclosed that
Zubairu, a student at a Moroccan university, was on holiday visiting family
when he was abducted.
After spending a few hours with his
family, he drove out and parked his car to secure the gate before driving to
his house. It was at this point that the kidnappers, who had concealed
themselves nearby, shot him in the left shoulder.
A close relative, who requested
anonymity, told the publication that after Zubairu was shot, the kidnappers
took him to an undisclosed location.
Five days later, the abductors
contacted the family, demanding N30 million in ransom. Following negotiations,
the ransom was reduced to N17 million, which the family paid.
However, two days after the ransom
was paid, the kidnappers ceased communication with the family.
Early Sunday morning, they informed the
family that Zubairu had been killed
