Female captives including a student of the Zamfara State College of Arts and Science, abducted by bandits for six months have raised an alarm over their captors’ threat to marry them off if their parents fail to pay a N12 million ransom.
The victims , Ummukhair Aisha Yahaya, Jemila Yahaya and Ummu Sani,were taken away along the Birnin Magaji-Kaura Namoda Road while returning from a wedding according to a video released on Saturday.
The victims also said that their abductors gave their families one week to pay the ransom and called on the state government and public spirited Nigerians to help them out .

“We are begging you, parents, in the name of God. We are in trouble here with our abductors. Please, look for money to secure our freedom,” they pleaded.
“The past government of Governor Bello Matawalle failed to secure our release. This is our sixth month and some days in captivity. We are begging the Governor Dauda Lawal-led administration to do something.”
