Kidnappers kill 17-year-old schoolgirl after payment of N1m ransom

A 17-year-old girl, Habeebah Akinsanya, was found dead yesterday after being kidnapped in the Mile 6 area in Obafemi-Owode Local Council of Ogun State.

The Guardian confirmed that the teenager, who was a student at Lisabi Grammar School, Abeokuta, was abducted on Friday.

It was also gathered that her father, Akinsanya Aremu, a member of the So-Safe Corps, reported the kidnapping to the Kemta Police Station, Abeokuta.

Shortly after, the kidnappers reportedly contacted him, demanding a ransom of N1 million for her release.

Aremu complied and transferred the money to the bank account provided by the kidnappers.

The father was instructed to retrieve his daughter near Obasa, a few kilometres from the OGTV/Mile 6 area.

But when he arrived at the scene, he found Habeebah’s lifeless body with multiple machete wounds and covered with soldier ants.
