The family of a student from the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) is in distress after the victim remained in captivity despite a ransom payment of ₦500,000 to the kidnappers. The abductors had initially demanded a higher sum, but negotiations led to the payment in hopes of securing the student's release. However, the family reports that the student has not been freed, and there has been no further communication from the kidnappers.
Family's Frustration and Fear
Relatives described the situation as deeply troubling, leaving them uncertain about the student's whereabouts and condition. They stated that all efforts to secure her release have been futile, even after meeting the financial demand. The lack of contact from the abductors has only heightened fears for her safety.
Call for Urgent Action
The family has called on security agencies to intensify search and rescue operations. They stressed that the kidnappers' silence is alarming and urged authorities to act swiftly. As of now, no official statement has been released by law enforcement, and investigations continue.
