Nafiu Idris has spoken about how he was kidnapped at his home in Karu, Abuja, around 10:30 p.m. on September 17, 2025 and later rescued by security operatives.
In a video shared by Symfoni TV, Idris said he had just returned home and was about to open his gate when the kidnappers attacked him. He said they tied his hands and marched him into the bush for nearly five hours before hiding him in a cave. From there, the kidnappers began communicating with his family, demanding a ransom of 50 million naira
Idris said on the day he was rescued, he and the kidnappers heard two bomb blasts followed by the voices of security forces approaching the cave. He said the kidnappers became frightened and tried to flee through a tunnel, leaving him behind.
Idris said he quickly moved out of the cave and ran into a joint team of security operatives made up of police, military, DSS, and vigilantes. He said the security operatives pursued the kidnappers and eliminated them.
In Idris’s words: “They took me to one cave, and from that moment they were just communicating with my family. They requested for 50 million naira. Since we entered the cave on Wednesday we couldn’t go out. So yesterday in the evening we were just lying down, two of them were sleeping, then the three of us were not sleeping. We heard a sound of bomb twice, then we heard the voice of people advancing to our place which are the police, military, DSS and vigilantes. So as they were approaching, they (kidnappers) were just scared, they even forgot that they kidnapped me. So they just moved towards the exit of the tunnel” See, More, Here>>>>
