The woman's children have been released after the kidnappers murdered her
Kidnappers who killed a Kaduna-based medical doctor, Philip Ataga
that was abducted in January have finally released her children.
They were released around 7:00 p.m. on Thursday night.
The two children who were identified as Christabel and Jasmine were
abducted alongside their mother from their residence at Juji area of
Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State on January 25.
The kidnappers had earlier demanded N150 million ransom for their
release but killed their mother after the family failed to pay the
money.
Spokesman of Kaduna State police command, DSP Yakubu Sabo told
Channels Television last week that the woman’s bullet-ridden body was
found inside a bush in the Kakau area along the Abuja- Kaduna highway.
Although the police are yet to confirm the release of the two
abducted children from captivity, their father, Dr Philip Ataga told
Channels Television that the children were dropped by the kidnappers at
Ungwar Kati area along the Juji bypass, where they were later picked by
one of his relatives who brought them back home.
He, however, did not disclose if any ransom was paid before the release of his children.
