Suspected Kidnappers Kill 7-Year-Old Boy After Demanding N2.5 Million Ransom in Jos

Seven-year-old Abdullahi Rabi’u was found dead on Tuesday evening in a narrow passage near his home in the Majema area of Jos North, Plateau State. His uncle, Sukairaj Danladi Gado, said the boy went missing on Monday evening after being sent to a neighbour’s house, and the family received a ransom demand for N2.5 million by phone on Tuesday morning. The family hoped he would be released, but his body was found hours later. Gado suspects those responsible may be familiar with the neighbourhood and urged security agencies to investigate and make arrests.
