Sheikh Bashar Danfili, a prominent cleric in Sokoto State, has made a public plea for financial assistance following the kidnapping of six of his relatives by bandits.
The abduction occurred as the victims were en route to an undisclosed village in the state.
The Daily Reality reports that in a video shared on social media, Danfili detailed the harrowing situation.
The victims include a man, his mother, stepmother, two wives, and his sister.
He reported that the bandits have demanded a substantial ransom, which they are unable to meet.
Danfili described the grisly aftermath of the attack, noting that the bandits killed their driver and used his flesh to feed their dogs.
The cleric reiterated the urgency of the situation, as the bandits have set a deadline for the ransom payment and threatened to kill the captives if it is not met.
With limited resources and facing a dire situation, Danfili has reached out to the public for support, hoping to raise the necessary funds to secure his relatives’ release.
