Aisha Wahab Released After Family Pays ₦20 Million Ransom
Aisha Wahab, the young woman kidnapped in Edo State last week, has been freed after her family paid the full ₦20 million ransom, activists Harrison Gwamnishu and Davido’s logistics manager Israel DMW confirmed. She was abducted while traveling to Igbira Camp in Auchi by suspected armed kidnappers. Earlier this week, her captors released a video showing her pleading for her life, demanding ₦20 million, and threatening to kill her if the ransom was not paid by 5 p.m. Tuesday. On Saturday, posts on social media, including one by Gwamnishu, confirmed her release. “Aishatu has just been released by her captors after paying the complete ₦20 million. No kobo was deducted,” the message read. Family sources said the full ransom was paid before her release. There are no reports of arrests connected to the abduction.
