Family members of an abducted National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member, Abba, say they believe he has been killed by his abductors despite paying a ransom of N10 million for his release.

The family disclosed that communication with the abductors stopped completely after the ransom was paid, raising fears that the corps member may have been killed.

According to the family sources, the abductors had earlier demanded additional items, including motorcycles, after receiving the initial payment.

However, the family said it had decided not to meet any further demands following the sudden halt in communication from the kidnappers.

“Since receiving the N10 million ransom payment, Abba’s abductors have completely cut off all communication with the family,” said the sources.

It added that, in view of the development, the family had concluded arrangements to observe his funeral prayer in absentia in accordance with Islamic rites.

“Abba’s family are preparing to hold his Janaza prayer (Gha’ib) on Friday, March 6, in accordance with Islamic rules,” the family added.

The family also expressed appreciation to individuals and groups who supported them during the ordeal.

“Abba’s family wishes to express profound gratitude to everyone who offered support, prayers, donations and kind words during this difficult period.

“May the Almighty reward your generosity abundantly,” they said.

They added that the family continued to pray that if the corps member was still alive, he would regain his freedom soon.

“If he has passed on, may Allah forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds and grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus,” the family member said.
