“We strongly appeal to the abductors to, in the name of Almighty Allah, kindly release the old woman to join her family.

“Our national chairman has never been in government. He is somebody who has been assisting individuals and the less privileged. We believe that the Almighty God will shine his eyes on him.

“We are pleading with the abductors that the woman should be returned safely to her family without any ransom.

“They should consider Mike’s philanthropic gestures at state and even national levels.”
