Suspected kidnappers who abducted a five-year-old girl, Memunah Abdulrahman, in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State have contacted her family, demanding a ransom of N500,000.
The girl’s father, Abdurrahman Alimi, disclosed this in an interview with PUNCH Metro.
The missing girl, Memunah Abdulrahman, was abducted on March 9, 2025, while returning home from an Islamic school.
The suspect was reported to have approached Memunah and her sister near a well-known supermarket in the Ejigbo community and lured them inside. While pretending to purchase items for them, the suspect reportedly vanished with Memunah, leaving her sister behind.
Speaking on the ransom demand on Wednesday, Alimi said that the suspects contacted him via a private number last month (April) to demand the payment.
“It was almost a month after my daughter was abducted that they called us. They hid their phone numbers and asked us to pay N500,000 before they would release my daughter. They hung up the phone and have not called back since then. I believe my daughter is still alive.
We told the police about this development. They said we should ask them to contact us via WhatsApp.
“We don’t know what the police are doing about it. On Friday, it will be exactly two months since my daughter was abducted.”
