Armed bandits operating along the Kaduna-Abuja highway have reportedly killed a farmer, Ibrahim Kadafa, popularly known as Ibro, after abducting him and his friend, Mustapha Shelpidi, while they were harvesting soybeans on a farm.
The incident occurred on October 28, 2026, around Alheri Camp, Kilometer 30, along the Kaduna-Abuja road.
According to Silverbird TV, Ibrahim, who worked in Abuja, had travelled to supervise activities on his farm when the armed men reportedly stormed the area and took both men away.
Family sources said the kidnappers initially demanded a ransom of ₦100 million, which was later reduced to ₦80 million.
After weeks of negotiations, the family reportedly paid ₦56 million, alongside three brand-new Samsung mobile phones and a recharge card worth ₦20,000, in an effort to secure Ibrahim’s release.
However, what the family had hoped would be a reunion ended in tragedy when they were reportedly handed his lifeless body on Wednesday, November 11.
The family further disclosed that Ibrahim had sustained a gunshot wound to his leg while allegedly attempting to escape during the abduction.
According to the source, he remained without medical attention throughout his two weeks in captivity.
The family reportedly suspects that complications arising from the untreated gunshot injury may have contributed to his death.
The circumstances surrounding his death have added to concerns over kidnapping and attacks on farmers and other residents along the Kaduna-Abuja highway.
