Five of the six sisters of the Al-Kadriyar family who were kidnapped by bandits in the Bwari area of Abuja recently have regained their freedom on Saturday night.
It is however not clear whether the girls were rescued by security operatives or released after their family paid ransom.
An uncle to the girls, Kabiru Aminu, who disclosed the news of their release, posted a video on his X handle @kabiru_aminu, showing the sisters and their relatives jubilating.
“#Najeebahandhersisters are home right now, someone please wake me up!” he tweeted.
“#Najeebahandhersisters. These girls are strong,” he added in a follow up tweet.
The six sisters were abducted recently alongside their father.
The gunmen later released their father, asking him to go get N60m as ransom for the release of her daughters before Friday, January 12.
In a bid to raise money, Nigerians were urged to donate whatever they had into a bank account, but not enough money was gathered.
Unpleased by the development, the gunmen reportedly killed the eldest of the six sisters and dumped her body somewhere for her parents to bury.
