22-year-old Nigerian man has been arrested for kidnapping his six-year-old step sister to raise money for his demanding girlfriend.

The man Ibrahim Kazeem reportedly conspired with his girlfriend identified simply as Murja to kidnap his stepsister Asiya Kazeem, while she was returning from an Islamic school on April 16, 2019.

According to reports, his girlfriend looked after the little girl who was taken to Talata Mafara local government area of Zamfara state.

Though the ransom was pegged at N3m, Ibrahim pleaded with his gang members to accept the N200k ransom his father agreed to pay because he was already traumatized.
