Kidnappers kill BUK final year students over failure to pay N100m ransom
She was kidnapped together with two of her siblings in Abuja and the kidnappers demanded over N100million for their ransom
Talatu Salihu, a final-year student at Bayero University, Kano (BUK), has been reportedly killed by kidnappers who abducted her and her siblings from their home in Abuja, the nations capital.
Talatu was a Library and Information Science student who was reportedly assassinated because her family was unable to provide the terrorists with the money they had requested.
The death of Talatu was verified by her close school friends on Wednesday.
“She was kidnapped together with two of her siblings in Abuja and the kidnappers demanded over N100million for their ransom which their parents could not afford.
“They killed her because her family was not able to meet up with the payment of the ransom,” Talatu’s friend said.
She claimed that the terrorists were still keeping Talatu’s brothers and threatening to kill them if the parents did not pay the demanded ransom.
