The
16-year old twin sisters named Hassana and Hussaina who were abducted
along with their elder sister at Daura village in Zurmi Local Government
Area of Zamfara State, a month ago were released unhurt.
It was said that N15million ransom was paid before the sisters regained their freedom, according to reports.

Online
publication, Daily Nigerian, said it spoke with the twins shortly after
their release and confirmed that they were released.
According
to media reports, the ransom was raised through crowd funding, family
contributions and borrowing. The largest contribution came from a
senator, Kabir Marafa.
On Wednesday, the abductors of the twin
sisters threatened to kill one of the girls if payment of their ransom
was not made on time.

The
twins, were kidnapped last month in Dauran town, while distributing the
invitation cards of their wedding, which was slated to hold in
December.
Their father, Alhaji Abubakar Yusuf, said the gunmen invaded their sister’s house and abducted the three of them.

“We
were able to establish contacts with the kidnappers and they demanded
N150 million from me. I told them I had never seen that kind of money.
We have lost sleep over the incident,” he said.
A family member,
Ibrahim Abubakar, who spoke with the kidnappers and the twins on phone
on Thursday, said the kidnappers had reduced the ransom to N15million.
