A family in Zamfara State has appealed for prayers and urgent assistance after bandits allegedly refused to release a man, Isihaka (Isau), despite receiving a ₦2.5 million ransom for his freedom. The victim remains in captivity, leaving his relatives deeply concerned about his safety.

According to the report, the family had complied with the kidnappers’ demand and paid the ransom in the hope that Isihaka would be released. However, the bandits allegedly kept him in captivity even after receiving the money, worsening the family’s distress.

The development has prompted the family to seek urgent intervention while appealing to well-meaning individuals for support. They are also asking for prayers as efforts continue to secure the victim’s release and ensure his safe return home.

The case highlights the continuing challenges faced by families of kidnapping victims, particularly when ransom payments do not guarantee immediate freedom. The family remains hopeful that assistance and intervention will help bring Isihaka back safely.
