Kidnappers in Nasarawa kill Moroccan student after collecting N17m ransom
Kidnappers in Nasarawa State have allegedly killed a 19-year-old Moroccan student, Anas Zubairu, after collecting N17m ransom.
According to reports gathered on Sunday, September 1, 2024, Zubairu was kidnapped last Friday evening around 6 p.m. in Lafia and killed by his abductors after they collected ransom.
According to newsmen, the family of the deceased paid N17m ransom to secure his release.
Zubairu, a student at a Moroccan University, was on holiday visiting family when he was abducted.

After spending some 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 journalists that after Zubairu was shot, the kidnappers took him to an undisclosed location.
Five days later, the abductors contacted his 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.
