Details of the kidnapping of Abuja's six sisters

The rescuing of Sabo came barely 24 hours after the police rescued five of the six sisters who were kidnapped alongside their father in Abuja over two weeks ago.

Their father was released to bring N60 million for the ransom of the six girls. The father, who could not raise the money, begged Nigerians to help him. While the money contributed to him was not enough to secure the release of the girl, the kidnappers killed the eldest one.

The police had swung to action and assured Nigerians that they would get rid of kidnappers' activities across the country.
