Abductors of Basherah Ojedeyi, a newly-inducted radiographer, have demanded a ransom of ₦200 million for her release.
Ojedeyi, who hails from Niger State, was kidnapped while traveling from Sokoto to Osun State to commence her internship. Armed men reportedly intercepted her vehicle along the highway and whisked her away.
The incident has caused deep concern among colleagues and members of the medical community, who are urging authorities to step up efforts to secure her freedom.
Family sources confirmed that the kidnappers have since reached out, insisting on the hefty ransom before releasing her.
Her abduction adds to the disturbing trend of rising highway kidnappings across the country, a menace that has continued to endanger commuters and deepen public fears over worsening insecurity.
