Family appeals for help as kidnappers demand 50m for abducted Nasarawa teacher

The family of Amina Hussaini, a primary school teacher abducted in Toto Local Government Area of Nasarawa State, has appealed to the public for assistance after her captors allegedly demanded 50 million for her release.

Hussaini, a teacher at Central Pilot Primary School, Kuru, was reportedly taken from her residence in Kuru community on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, and has remained in captivity since then.

A family member, Suwaiba Abdullahi, made the appeal on Tuesday, disclosing that the kidnappers had demanded 50 million before releasing the married teacher.

Abdullahi said the incident had been reported to the police, while the family continued to seek help to secure Hussaini’s freedom.

The family called on well-meaning Nigerians, security agencies and the Nasarawa State Government to intervene urgently and facilitate her safe and unconditional release.

The circumstances surrounding the abduction and the police’s response were not immediately available.
