Gunmen broke into a newlywed couple’s home on Wednesday in Oniyangi, Emir Road, Ilorin, Kwara State’s Ilorin West Local Government Area.
According to information obtained by City Round, while the guy, known only as Mr. Musa, managed to flee through the building’s garden, his wife, Rukkayat, was not as fortunate and was kidnapped.
According to information obtained by our correspondent, the abductors later got in touch with the family and demanded N50m as ransom for the woman.
A victim’s relative, who did not want his name published, claimed that the pair had been married for around three months.
“The kidnappers contacted the family and made a N50m demand, which they stated needed to be paid by the weekend.

“The family has no such money and that is why we are appealing to philanthropists and members of the public to assist us so that the kidnappers will not kill our daughter”, he added.
The relative said the incident was reported to the police at the Oja Oba Station, Ilorin, on Thursday.
When contacted on Friday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Okasanmi Ajayi, said he was not aware of the abduction.
“I have not heard of the incident; maybe the case was not reported to any of the police stations around,” he added.
