A father-of-two, whose two children were kidnapped in Kwara, has started selling his belongings to raise the N8m demanded by his children’s adductors.

The embattled father, Lukman Aliyu, a scrap dealer in the state, has sold his car and is now putting his house up for sale to raise the ransom.

Nigerian Man Puts House Up For Sale To Raise N8Million Demanded As Ransom For His Two Kidnapped Children In Kwara

A man identified as Mr Lukman Aliyu, a resident of Aseyori community, Alagbado area of Kwara State has started selling his belongings to raise the N8 million demanded by gunmen who kidnapped his two children, Abdulkadir Lukman and Muhideen Lukman.

On Friday, SaharaReporters reported widespread panic in Kwara as a result of the daily reports of kidnappings in various areas of the state.

Some residents of Alagbado, Ogidi, Okolowo, and others on the outskirts of Ilorin, the state capital, reportedly fled their houses as a result of this development.

These communities have been under intense attacks by suspected kidnappers in recent times.

One of the victims of these was Mr Lukman, whose house was invaded by six gunmen who took away his children last Wednesday night.

The kidnappers at first demanded a ransom of N20 million but after a series of negotiations, they told Lukman to bring N8 million or lose his two children.

SaharaReporters gathered that Lukman sold his car for N1,500,000 and also indicated an interest in selling his house to raise the ransom demanded by the kidnappers.

“Lukman has sold his car for N1.5 million and was able to raise an additional N500,000 from his circle (family and friends) to make it N2 million now.

“Since the kidnappers insisted on N8 million or they will kill his children, he has no other choice but to decide to sell his house. His condition is very pathetic. I pray government could intervene in this matter and save our community from these kidnappers. Our lives are under threat because we do not know who is who and who is their next target," Alhaji Mustapha, a resident of the community told SaharaReporters.

Cruelty of the highest order look at how insecurity has racked the whole country no one is safe but only the politicians while they ride on the bulletproof cars and top notch security.
The masses suffers the man worked all his life to get to this level now his life struggled will be given to kidnappers he may never recover, may we never experience such in one's life.

I see those kidnappers getting caught I see the kids gaining freedom.

This I have seen.

I thought Buhari and Tinubu secured all Northern and Southwest states leaving only backward potopoto Southeast to suffer unknown gunmen





All those warming up to elect another walking dead as President simply because of tribal-religious bigotry, just pray you live to see the end of his first 6 months in office just like many Northerners that celebrated and trekked for Buhari in 2015

May Buhari and people like him never happen to Nigeria again

Pathetic. The first responsibility of the govt is protection of lives and properties but unfortunately, reverse is the case. This govt have failed us, it have never been this worse.

And Buhari will open his mouth waaah and claimed he has met the expectations of Nigerians. Thank God, by February 2023 your power and influence will start declining.

Too bad

APC failed woefully on security. Sorry sir. May God help you recover all your losses.

I feel for him.. love of a father. He is indeed a good father and I pray God comes to his help.

Sad, this is happening in a country with a functional government?

Tomorrow now he will vote for the North
