Kidnapped Daughter Of Adamawa Pastor Freed After Payment Of Ransom, Sons Buried

The younger sister of two brothers killed by suspected terrorists has been freed after a huge sum was paid as ransom.

The kidnapped 13-year-old daughter of Pastor Daniel Umaru who was shot and his two sons were killed by the attackers last week in Mubi, Adamawa state was freed early this morning according to family sources.

“We paid money, a huge amount, before they released her to us in the early hours of today, as of now, both her parents are fighting for their lives at the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, Yola, due to gunshot injury and trauma,” he added.

Meanwhile, the remains of the two sons who were shot dead on an ill-fated night have been buried amidst wailing by relations and friends of the family.

The remains of the boys were buried side-by-side at the church cemetery in Kwarhi, near Mubi yesterday.

It could be recalled that on July 7, 2022, Naija News reported that gunmen shot Pastor Umaru, killed his two sons and kidnapped his 13-year-old daughter in Adamawa State.

The sons died while the pastor was taken to hospital where he has been fighting to survive.

The mother of the deceased children was said to have suffered trauma following the tragedy that befell her family.

The gunmen stormed the residence of Umaru of the ‘Eklesiya Yan’uwa A Nigeria’ (EYN); also known as Church of the Brethren, at Njairi in the Mubi Local Government Area and carried out the dastardly act.
