A mother and her son, Joshua, who were abducted in Kaduna State have been k!lled in captivity.
It was gathered that bandits abducted Joshua’s mother in December 2025 in Bayan Dutse Narayi, Kaduna South and demanded a ransom the family and members of the community couldn’t afford.
A member of the community, Noble, who confirmed the sad development in a Facebook post on Saturday, July 4, 2026, said the family was unable to raise the required amount within the stipulated time.
Joshua undertook the responsibility of delivering the funds they were able to raise in the hope of negotiating for his mother’s release.
When Joshua arrived the kidnappers’ den, he discovered that his mother had d!ed in captivity.
The kidnappers collected the ransom, seized Joshua and allegedly tortured him to death.
“To the Government and Security Authorities of Kaduna State, we write to express our deep sorrow and concern over the tragic loss of a beloved mother and her firstborn son, victims of the growing insecurity and kidnapping crisis affecting communities in Kaduna State,” he wrote.
“The woman in question was widely known in her community as a kind, cheerful, and compassionate individual whose presence brought joy and comfort to those around her.
“Her sudden abduction in December last year came as a devastating shock to her family, friends, and neighbours.
“Following her kidnapping, her captors demanded a ransom amount far beyond the financial capacity of her family and members of the community.
“Despite desperate efforts to secure her freedom, the family was unable to raise the required amount within the stipulated time.
“In an effort to save his mother, her firstborn son courageously undertook the responsibility of delivering funds in the hope of negotiating her release.
“Tragically, upon arrival, he discovered that his mother had already lost her life while in captivity.
“The ordeal did not end there. The son himself was reportedly seized by the kidnappers and subjected to further abuse.
“The family endured additional anguish as they received distressing communications regarding his condition.
“Sadly, he also lost his life, leaving behind a grieving family, including his wife and children.
“This heartbreaking incident highlights the severe impact of insecurity on ordinary citizens and the devastating consequences for families and communities.
“It also raises urgent concerns about the effectiveness of current efforts to combat kidnapping and violent crime in the region.
“I am calling on Senator Uba Sani, General CG Musa and the Armed forces, to investigate this matter and bring the perpetrators to book. This can’t be normalize, it must stop!!.”
