The kidnapped teenage daughter of Pastor Daniel Umaru has been released after a huge sum of undisclosed amount was paid as ransom.
Meanwhile, the remains of her two brothers who were shot dead on the ill-fated night, have been buried at the church cemetery in Kwarhi, near Mubi, Adamawa state, on Saturday.
Gunmen had invaded the residence of the pastor, who was reportedly shot, along with his two teenage sons and abducted his 13-year-old daughter.
The gunmen had stormed the residence of Reverend Daniel Umaru of the ‘Eklesiya Yan’uwa A Nigeria’ (EYN), also known as Church of the Brethren, at Njairi in the Mubi Local Government Area.
A family source revealed that the kidnapped 13 year old was set free by her abductors after collecting a huge amount of money as ransom.
“We paid money, huge amount of money, of course, before they released her to us on Saturday evening, just after her two brothers were laid to rest at the EYN Church headquarters in Kwarhi.”
“As of now, both her parents are fighting for their lives at the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, Yola, due to gunshot injury and trauma,” the family member said.
