1 / 3

A man has alleged that kidnappers killed his elder brother, Israel Edwin Udonu, after the family paid ransom twice and supplied two motorcycles and other items. He said Israel, his brother-in-law and another man were abducted on May 24, 2026, while travelling from Kaduna to Lagos along the Obajana axis of Kogi State. The brother-in-law and the third victim were reportedly released on July 30, but Israel was allegedly killed. The family says it has been left devastated, with no body recovered for burial. A service of songs is scheduled to hold in Kaduna.

Should families be given a clearer, safer channel to report payments and get updates?

The allegation that a family supplied money, motorcycles and other items makes this account especially painful.

These are serious claims, but the full circumstances should be established carefully before people draw firm conclusions.

Authorities should thoroughly investigate the abduction route, the ransom demands, and the reported killing without delay.
