Kaduna family shown captive as abductors demand ₦300 million

A video circulating online shows Ahmed Abubakar Zakka, his wife and their infant daughter in captivity in Millennium City, Kaduna State, with Zakka saying their abductors are demanding ₦300 million for their release. The footage shows an armed person pointing a firearm at Zakka as he appeals for help; his wife is heard pleading as well. Zakka identifies himself in the video and says the family was abducted from their home. The date is disputed in the supplied accounts: two reports say the abduction occurred on October 6, while another gives October 5. Reports place the incident at Alrahus Estate in Millennium City, within Chikun Local Government Area. The family’s release has not been confirmed in the available information. The video shows Zakka holding the infant while his wife sits beside him. The ransom demand and account of the abduction come from Zakka’s statements in the footage; the reports describing it do not provide independent confirmation of the captors’ demand. The family’s current status after the video circulated is also not established.
