However, when the kidnappers called they threatened a worse end for the teenager
Blessing her mother said this while appealing to well meaning Nigerians to come to their aid
“We still spoke with her a few days ago and we begged the abductors to release her. They said we should pay N18m, later they reduced it to N500, 000 and at another time, they said we should pay any amount.
“When we begged them, they said if we don’t pay the money, she will work for the money. We don’t know what they mean by that, whether they want to turn her into a prostitute. A J.S.S. 3 girl that has just registered for her final junior exams, what does she know?People have abandoned us because of this incident and we are so confused.”
Precious’s father, Nwaigwe, said his business had closed down and his children were no longer going to school.
He said,
“I am no more myself since my daughter got missing. I have spent so much money on travels without any result. To eat has been difficult. My kids are no more going to school.I am appealing to the government and good Nigerians to assist me.”
It is believed that Precious abductors are based in Niger Republic.
