According to a close associate of the scholar, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed that the bandits demanded a ransom shortly after the abduction.

The family negotiated and agreed upon a ransom amount, which was paid to the bandits. However, despite the payment, the captors have yet to release the victims.

Expressing concern, the associate stated, “He, along with his wife, newborn, and the other child, has spent three weeks in captivity. Despite the agreed ransom, they are still being held. At this point, all we can do is pray for divine intervention.”

The associate also prayed for divine intervention.
