“She was for the past 42 days with her abductors who demanded the sum of N3m which was given to them, but sadly killed the girl eventually.”
”It was said that, perhaps the girl recognized her
abductor whom happens to be residing close to their house, in fact, she was playing with his kids almost everyday.”
“They called her father yesterday demanding for additional money which he obliged and sent someone with the money.”
“In the event of waiting for them, the guy was so furious coz of the cool weather at night, he called the father and informed him he hasn’t seen anyone yet. Then, the father called the number and asked them to tell him the truth if they have killed the girl.”
