Family resort to crowdfunding to raise fund for release of kidnapped undergraduate son

The family of kidnapped 16- year undergraduate, Abul-Mugniy of Airforce Institute of Technology Kaduna have passionately called for assistance from public in raising fund to save the life of the boy who have been captivity of abductors over two months ago.

Penpushing reports that it is recalled that the boy, a 100-level student of the institute was kidnapped on December 28, 2023 alongside a couple Mr and Mrs Popoola, he resident with at National Eye Centre Staff Quarters in Kaduna.

The boy and the couple as at the time of filing this report are still in custody of the kidnappers who have been demanding N150million before they could regain freedom, with a threat that the more the family delay payment, the abductees risk being kill

Penpushing further reports that the mother of the boy, Baliqs Folaranmi in an interview on Monday at headquarters of Penpushing Media explained that the kidnappers called regularly to get the ransom, adding that after series of plea they reduced the expected ransom to N100million.

The worried mother said the latest contact the kidnappers made to the family was on February 3, 2024, asking the family how far about the money, with a threat to deliver the ransom early on time to avoid wasting lives of the victims.

‘The kidnappers called me regularly asking for the payment, they earlier put it  N150million, but after lots of appeal they reduce it to N100million. Infact the recent call from them was on February 3, 2024, asking for the money before it get too late’, she added

Penpushing also reports that the woman said the family, resident in Abeokuta had sold almost all properties to meet up the financial demand of the kidnappers, lamenting that, what the family raised was still far from N100million demand of the kidnappers.
