Since receiving the ₦10 million ransom payment, Abba’s abductors have completely cut off all communication with his family.
Given the situation, the family has decided not to pay any more ransom (including the bikes his abductors requested after the initial payment).

Abba’s family are preparing to hold his Janaza prayer (Gha’ib) on Friday, 6th March, in accordance with Islamic rules.
Abba’s family wishes to express their profound gratitude to everyone who offered support, prayers, donations, and kind words during this ordeal. May the Lord be pleased with you all and reward your generosity abundantly.
We continue to pray: if Abba is still alive, wherever he may be, may the Lord grant him strength and swift release. If he has passed on, may Allah forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, and grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus. Ameen.
Please keep the family in your prayers during this difficult time.
