Mother Of Kidnapped Girl In Edo Begs Nigerians For Help As Gunmen Demand ₦20million
The mother of a kidnapped girl, Wahab Aisha, has made a tearful appeal to popular logistics manager Isreal DMW and kind-hearted Nigerians to help secure her daughter’s release from captivity.
The distraught mother revealed that the kidnappers are demanding ₦20 million for Aisha’s release and have issued a deadline while threatening to kill her if the ransom is not paid.
Aisha was kidnapped last week Saturday at Igbira Camp in Auchi by unknown gunmen, who reportedly stormed the area and took her away into the forest.
Since then, her family has been thrown into panic and despair, unable to raise the huge amount requested by the abductors.
In a viral video obtained by SaharaReporters, Aisha’s mother, visibly distressed and overwhelmed with emotion, as she spoke from a dilapidated mud house.
Her living conditions painted a heartbreaking picture of poverty and helplessness. She said that she had been unable to eat or sleep since her daughter’s abduction, fearing for her safety.
“As you see me so, I cannot eat; I’m only thinking because of Aisha,” she said emotionally.
“They carried my daughter into the bush since last week Saturday. They were demanding ₦30 million, but as we kept begging them, they reduced it to ₦20 million. I beg Isreal DMW, help us. I don’t have anything. See where I am living; I am a poor woman with no money. I’m begging you, Isreal, please help me. I sell leaves with Aisha in the market to survive. I’m also calling on Nigerians to please come to my aid.”
The woman further explained that her daughter, Aisha, was her only source of support. Together, they sold vegetables and leaves in the local market to earn a meagre income. Now, with Aisha gone, she has been left alone and devastated.
Aisha’s sister also joined in the plea, calling on Nigerians, especially influential figures and charitable organisations, to intervene.
She said the family had no access to wealthy relatives or connections and were relying solely on public support to raise the ransom.
Previously, SaharaReporters reported that kidnappers issued a deadly ultimatum to Aisha, demanding a ransom of N20million to secure her release before 5pm on Tuesday, October 21, 2025.
In a disturbing video that has gone viral and was obtained by SaharaReporters, Aisha is seen begging the public for ransom to save her life as an armed man points a gun at her head and chest.
She pleads for financial assistance from the public, saying her captors have vowed to kill her if the ransom is not paid by the deadline.
