Abducted woman freed after revealing kidnappers at military checkpoint
Mercy Ishaya, a 25-year-old woman, has regained her freedom after revealing the identity of her abductors. She was kidnapped from the New Bwari community in Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State.
Ishaya was abducted on August 28, 2024, while her father, Godiya Ishaya, a businessman, was attacked and left in a pool of his own blood.
However, luck was on the victim’s side when soldiers intercepted a Toyota Sienna transporting the bandits who were fleeing a security offensive in Dogon-Daji Forest in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A family member of the victim told journalists that when the bus was stopped, the woman immediately spoke up, informing the soldiers that she had been abducted by the suspects and provided her father’s phone number.
He said the woman was taken to the hospital before being reunited with her family, while the suspects were taken to a military barracks in Kaduna.
Abubakar Hussaini, the commander of vigilantes in Tafa LGA, confirmed the incident to newsmen.
