The five remaining Al-Kadriyar sisters who were abducted from the Bwari area of Abuja in early January have regained their freedom.
Police public relations officer for the federal capital territory (FCT), Josephine Adeh disclosed in a statement that the Al-Kadriyar sisters were released around midnight, Saturday.
The PPRO said the sisters, were rescued alongside other victims kidnapped in the Bwari area by security personnel, from the Kajuru forest in Kaduna state.
The statement read:
“Following the relentless advancement of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command Anti-Kidnapping squad in a concerted effort with troops of the Nigerian Army, on the heels of the kidnappers that struck the Zuma 1 area in the Bwari Area Council on the 2nd of January 2024, the FCT Police has rescued the victims and reunited them with their families”.
The sisters were abducted alongside their dad and some residents of the community.
However, their father was immediately released purportedly to sort out the ransom
The kidnappers had subsequently handed the family a deadline for the payment of ransom.
Last week, news emerged that Nabeeha, one of the sisters, was killed by the abductors.
