She stated further that “she received a call from someone two days later who claimed to have to kidnap the girl and demanding for the sum of#500,000 as ransom if she likes to see her daughter alive”.

The mother said, “the caller also warned her not to make the mistake of reporting to the police if she still needs her daughter”.

He added that the DPO Enugada Division, SP Baba
