Suspected kidnappers, who abducted
three friends when they went to buy ice cream and cake in Abuja, have finally
contacted families of the victims, demanding $30,000.
Four days
after Veronica Otogo, Bisola Mohammed and Damilola Oribuyaku, three close
friends, went missing in Abuja; those believed to be behind their abduction
contacted the families yesterday.
Veronica,
whose birthday was last Friday, had gone out with her friend, Bisola, to buy
ice cream and cake at a creamery near Wuse 2 before their abduction.
It was, however, learnt that
the ladies were later joined by Damilola, said to be Bisola’s friend. A friend
to the Oribuyaku’s family, who took to Facebook, calling for prayers for the
victims, said: “Engineer Oribuyaku is a family friend.
His son, Damilola, who just
returned from schooling overseas, went to have ice-cream at Coldstone, Wuse II,
Abuja on Friday with two of his female friends.
“As they were about to get into
their cars, a jeep blocked them. The rest was like a horror film. They were
taken and driven off. The abductors are demanding $300,000.
Oribuyaku is a hardworking man,
who has built his businesses with clean money. He doesn’t have that kind of
money. Please, join us in praying for the safety of these young people in the
hands of these criminals.
May God let us find them alive and in
one piece. “One of our brothers was hit on the head with the butt of a gun in
front of this same ice-cream parlour at Gwarimpa last year.
Criminals now
target places frequently visited by middle class. Let us be security conscious
as Nigeria is going through a very hard period.”
