Nabeehah was reportedly killed by the abductors following failure to meet the deadline for payment of the ransom of N60 million demanded by the kidnappers

“The reported tragic killing of Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, a student of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, who was kidnapped alongside her father and siblings in Abuja, by bandits, not only shows how insecurity currently ravages the nation but also shows how helpless Nigerians have become in the face of these dangers”, Obi said.

“The trauma being experienced by this family and the blood of this innocent child should prick our conscience as leaders, whose duty it is to protect the life of every Nigerian citizen.

“The fact that these kidnappings, killings and other reported cases of armed robbery and violent attacks, are now taking place in Abuja, the nation’s capital, is a clear pointer to how insecure the rest of the country now is.”

Peter Obi, former Anambra State Governor, also reacted on the traditional ruler of the Isseke community in Anambra State, Igwe Emmanuel Nnabuife, who was rendered homeless after unknown assailants burnt down his palace on Friday.
