Tuesday, February 24 2026 -Bandits have released a disturbing video showing two young women abducted over a month ago while travelling to Sokoto State.
The victims, who appeared visibly traumatised, exhausted and
unkempt, were seen in the footage crying and pleading with the public and
authorities to secure their freedom.
A teacher, Mrs Aisha Al-Mustapha, who posted the video on X,
identified one of the young women as Maryam and her friend.
According to Al-Mustaoga, one of the women was abducted
while travelling from Zamfara State to Sokoto State to resume school.
In the video, the two women repeatedly cried out, “Please
help us. Help us out,”
At one point in the footage, one of the armed men, speaking
in Hausa, was heard taunting the captives, asking them why they could not speak
louder to describe their situation.
The bandit’s voice could be heard in the background as he
appeared to coerce the women into addressing the camera.
Mrs Al-Mustapha lamented the prolonged captivity of her
friend.
“My friend Maryam has been in captivity for the past one
month. Her only sin was travelling to go to school from Zamfara to Sokoto,” she
wrote.
“It really pains me how banditry has been normalised and
human beings are being priced like animals.”
