A user on the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) has shared an audio recording of her father, who is currently being held by kidnappers.
The woman, identified as @funkysguide, revealed that her father was abducted while returning from her convocation at the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA).

In the viral audio, the kidnappers demanded 5 million Naira, while her father stated that he has been tied up since the morning.
He also said he was taken along with other passengers, who were beaten by the kidnappers.
During a conversation with one of the kidnappers, a woman mentioned that ₦700,000 had been raised, but the kidnapper, reportedly from the Northern tribe, insisted on receiving the full ₦5 million ransom.
In the caption accompanying her post, the woman appealed to Nigerians for help regarding her father’s abduction.

“As of last night, this was the recorded conversation between my family, my dad, and the kidnappers. 😭😭😭Nigerians, please help me. My dad came to celebrate me on my convocation, only for him to be kidnapped on his way back. 💔.”
Her tweet has since gone viral, prompting numerous netizens to call for urgent intervention from security operatives.
