Eight Days After Abduction, Kidnappers Demand ₦50m for Nasarawa Teacher

The teacher, identified as Amina Hussaini, reportedly teaches at Central Pilot Primary School in Kuru, Toto Local Government Area of the state. She was allegedly abducted from her residence in Kuru community on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.

The incident has left her family deeply worried as they struggle to secure her freedom and meet the reported ransom demand.

A family member, Suwaiba Abdullahi, made the appeal on Tuesday, October 27, calling on well-meaning Nigerians to assist in efforts to bring Hussaini home safely.

According to reports, the abductors demanded ₦50 million before releasing the teacher. The amount has placed considerable pressure on the family, prompting its appeal for support and intervention.

The family reportedly said the incident had been reported to the police and urged the relevant authorities to intensify efforts to secure the teacher’s release.

It also appealed to the Nasarawa State Government, security agencies and members of the public to help ensure her safe return.

As of the latest available reports, there was no confirmed information about the identities of the abductors, the status of negotiations or whether any arrests had been made in connection with the incident.

The abduction has also renewed concerns about kidnapping and insecurity in Nasarawa State. On October 27, the Nasarawa State House of Assembly raised concerns over renewed abductions in parts of the state and called for stronger measures to protect residents.

The Speaker of the Assembly, Danladi Jatau, expressed concern about the security situation, while lawmaker Solomon Akwashiki drew attention to recent incidents affecting communities.

For Hussaini’s family, however, the immediate concern is securing her release and ensuring that she returns home safely.

The family’s appeal comes as residents continue to look to security agencies and the state government for more effective measures to address abductions and protect communities.
