The Two Sisters Kidnapped In Abuja Regain Freedom

Ejura Opaluwa, and Unekwu Opaluwa

The daughters of Dr. Samson Opaluwa, a Director at the Federal Ministry of Works, whose daughters were kidnapped nine days ago, have regained freedom.
The girls, Ejura Opaluwa, and Unekwu Opaluwa, aged 23, and 19, respectively, were abducted in their house located at 55 Associated Estate, Impresit Karmo in the Federal Capital Territory two Sundays ago, when the gunmen, believed to be robbers, laid siege on their house.

The gunmen, who arrived in a Blue Honda car, with the Registration Number HR152ABC, were said to be five in number. They were said to have threatened to kill Dr. Opaluwa if he was unwilling to pay them handsomely for his life.

After failing to get as much money as they had hoped, the robbers reportedly decided to abduct the girls, and they subsequently demanded a ransom of N200m to free the girls.

The girls were released very early on Tuesday morning but no information on how much was paid as ransom, or whether it was paid at all
