A final year student of the Bayero University, Kano (BUK), Talatu Salihu, has been killed by terrorists who kidnapped her together with her siblings at their place of residence in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.
According to report, Talatu was a student of Library and Information Science and she was killed after her family could not pay the demanded ransom to the terrorists.
Talatu’s death was confirmed on Wednesday by her close friends in school, PressExpress reveals.
“She was kidnapped together with two of her siblings in Abuja and the kidnappers demanded over N100million for their ransom which their parents could not afford.
“They killed her because her family was not able to meet up with the payment of the ransom,” Talatu’s friend said.
She claimed that the terrorists were still keeping Talatu’s brothers and threatening to kill them if the parents did not pay the demanded ransom.
