What my daughter’s kidnapper told me – father

A distraught father has told of the conversation he had with his daughter’s captor. Sani Kaoje’s daughter, Farida, was among the 90 schoolgirls abducted from the Federal Government College, Birnin Yauri, in Kebbi State in 2021.

While the state government was able to negotiate the rescue of 79 of the students, Farid and 10 others were not that lucky as they have remained with their abductors.

Her father, Sani Kaoje said the leader of the criminal gang, Dogo Gide, had spoken with him multiple times on his mobile phone.

Kaoje alleged the bandit leader Gide had married off Farida.

“He (Dogo Gide) is the one (Mr Dogo) who said it to me directly through the phone … he told me that he married Farida himself though he was not very direct about it,” Kaoje stated.

Kaoje also said that Dogo Gide demanded N100million and some motorcycles from the government, as a condition for releasing the remaining abducted girls.

“He reduced the ransom to N50m and 30 motorcycles but they still refused to give the bandits, so they could release our daughters for us. I’ve nothing to say because this democracy has failed us. What would the government now say to us since they can’t protect our daughters?”, he said.
