Mercy Ishaya, a 25-year-old lady, has regained freedom after exposing the men who abducted her from New Bwari community in Tafa Local Government Area of Niger State.
Daily Trust learnt that that the victim was abducted on August 28, 2024 while her father, Godiya Ishaya, a businessman, was hit and left in the pool of his blood.
However, luck came the way of the victim when soldiers intercepted a Toyota Sienna conveying the bandits who were fleeing a security offensive in Dogon-Daji Forest in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
A family member of the victim told City & Crime that upon stopping the bus, the girl immediately spoke out, telling the soldiers that she was abducted by the suspects and gave her father’s phone number to the soldiers.
