Five of the six sisters of the Al-Kadriyar family, who were kidnapped by bandits in the Bwari area of Abuja recently, have regained their freedom on Saturday night.
As of the time of filing this report, it could not be independently verified whether the girls were rescued by security operatives or were released after ransom was paid by their family.
However, an uncle to the girls, Kabiru Aminu, who disclosed the news of their release, posted a video on his X handle @kabiru_aminu, showing the sisters and their relatives jubilating.
“#Najeebahandhersisters are home right now, someone please wake me up!” he tweeted.

The gunmen later released their father, asking him to go get N60m as ransom for the release of her daughters before Friday, January 12.
In a bid to raise money, Nigerians were urged to donate whatever they had into a bank account, but not enough money was gathered.
Unpleased by the development, the gunmen reportedly killed the eldest of the six sisters and dumped her body somewhere for her parents to bury.
Following the gruesome killing of Najeebah, the Nigeria Police Force said it was intensifying plans to rescue the victims while assuring Nigerians that plans were ongoing to prevent further kidnapping cases across the country.
