Summary: A devastating story from Kaduna as bandits kill an abducted mother and her son, Joshua, who had gone to deliver the ransom for her release.
—
Just when you think you’ve heard the worst, another story full of unimaginable pain will just surface. This one right here is a story of double tragedy, and it is just too painful.
A family in Kaduna is currently mourning the loss of not one, but two of their loved ones – a mother and her son, Joshua – at the hands of wicked bandits.
The whole nightmare started back in December 2023. While people were preparing for Christmas and New Year, these heartless criminals stormed Bayan Dutse in Kaduna and kidnapped Joshua’s mother. You can imagine the fear and confusion that fell upon that family.
Like any loving son would, Joshua and his family started running around, trying to gather money to pay the ransom and secure his mother’s release. After they finally raised the money demanded by the kidnappers, Joshua bravely took on the dangerous task of delivering it to them in the bush, hoping to bring his mother back home.
But the wickedness of these people knows no bounds.
According to the reports, when Joshua got there and handed over the ransom, the bandits delivered the most devastating news. They told him that his mother had already d!ed in their custody.
Can you imagine the pain? The shock? The absolute horror of that moment?
But the evil did not stop there. In a display of pure, cold-blooded cruelty, after telling Joshua his mother was gone, the bandits seized him as well. They held him captive and then k!lled him.
They collected the ransom, then took the life of the person who brought it.
This is no longer just kidnapping for ransom; this is pure evil. A son who was trying to save his mother was murdered alongside her. Two bright lights from one family, just extinguished like that.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Joshua and his mother. To lose two people in such a horrific way is a pain no one should ever have to bear.
When will all this end? When will our people be safe in their own homes and communities? May God have mercy on us in this country.
