The father of the three-year-old girl, Khadija, who was kidnapped three weeks ago in Kuje town of the FCT, Umar Suleiman Danazumi, has said the mutilated body of a child that was found under a bridge in Gwagwalada was not that of his child.
Danazumi, while reacting to comments on the social media that his missing child was found dead under a bridge, noted that the mutilated body was that of a boy, while his kidnapped child was a girl.
He told our reporter on phone yesterday that he had read several comments on the social media linking the corpse to his daughter.
“In fact, when I read in the newspaper that the mutilated body of a boy was found under a bridge in Gwagwalada, I rushed there and discovered that it was really that of a boy. My child is a girl so I wonder why some people are saying that he was my child,” he said.
He said his daughter was yet to be found, adding, however that security operatives had assured him that everything was being done to track down the kidnappers.
According to him, prior to the discovery of the mutilated body of the boy, also about three years old, a two-year-old girl who was earlier kidnapped at Kuje, was killed and her corpse abandoned under the same bridge in Gwagwalada.
