According to multiple posts on Facebook, Ramatu and her daughter were returning to Kaduna on Saturday, after a mercy mission to Mariri town in Lere LGA.

Photographs posted on Facebook showed Ramatu and her daughter distributing various items to orphans and the less privileged in Mariri.

She had arrived the town at about 3pm on Saturday, to give to the needy, as part of her Barkindo-Rahama Initiative (BRAIN).

She left with her daughter and driver later but along the way, terrorists attacked their vehicle between Crossing and Kasuwan Magani.

The dare-devil terrorists abducted all the three and are now asking for N100million to release them.

On Facebook on Sunday, prayers were being offered to the woman and her daughter for their safe return, from the terrorists gulag.

“May Allah,in his infinite Mercy restore them to their Families”, wrote Idris Bayero Haruna, who commended Ramatu for carrying out the “the most beloved form” of Ibadat in Mariri.

There were also comments attacking the government of the day for not caring about the safety of the people.

“This yet again is another of the dangers by the hour that we leave (sic) in the North, and to which all levels of privileged leadership actually care less.

“I think we need a northern Nigerian conversation and not about a ‘Consensus Presidential Candidature’ nonsense! May Allah bring relief, soonest!”, wrote Saleh Baba, a citizen of Plateau, who lives in Abuja.
