Immediate past Minister of Federal Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Ibrahim, on Sunday, said that plans are underway to offset the N50 million ramson in other to save Nabeeha’s father and five other siblings.

The minister in his reaction said he is not a supporter of paying ramsons to criminals, but acknowledged that the remaining five daughters of Alhaji Mansoor, who are being held hostage in the kidnapper’s den are being threatened.

According to him, he spoke to a friend and a brother who offered to pay N50 million immediately.

Pantami in a tweet said, “Alhamdu lil Laah!

“I am personally not in support of paying ransom to criminals. However, since it became clear, we lost our daughter Nabeeha yesterday, and the 5 remaining daughters have been threatened, as I spoke with the father on the matter yesterday and today.

“Furthermore, I spoke with a friend and a brother who offered to pay the remaining 50 million Naira of the 60m immediately. I conveyed the account number of the father of pur daughters, Mansoor Al-Kadriyar, to the friend and brother to send the money directly. Any additional amount earlier generated from yesterday, the father can use to treat the daughters and other family members in sha Allah.

“May the Almighty Allah reward the bother and friend with Jannatul Firdaus for the donation. May He also reward all those who contributed in any way with Jannatul Firdaus, too. May He also forgive Nabeeha and rescue her sisters. May the Almighty also help our security agencies to bring an end to these challenges. May Nigeria be a better place for all of us.”
