A man identified as Ibrahim Kadafa, also known as “Ibro,” has reportedly died after being abducted from his farm in Kaduna State, according to a social media post shared by his family or associates.
The post says Kadafa, who worked in Abuja, travelled to supervise his farm on October 28, 2026, when armed men seized him. It alleges the kidnappers initially demanded ₦100 million, later reducing the ransom to ₦80 million.
After weeks of negotiations, the family reportedly paid ₦56 million, along with three new Samsung phones and a ₦20,000 recharge card, to secure his release. The post says the family was then given his body.
According to the account, Kadafa sustained a gunshot wound to his leg while trying to escape and received no medical attention during roughly two weeks in captivity. The circumstances of his death have not been independently confirmed.
The post did not identify the exact location of the farm or provide details of any police investigation. As of the information provided, there was no official statement from security agencies.
The family’s account highlights the human cost of kidnapping and the risks faced by people travelling or working in areas affected by armed attacks.
