According to the reports, the incident took place along Ibrahim Babangida Way in Wuse Zone 4.

Usman claimed to have seen a man come out of the backseat of a Sienna minibus and walk towards Tundun, before carrying her and attempting to put her inside the vehicle.

The brave hawker said, “The man walked straight to her as if he knew her and I expected a confrontation.

“At first, I thought he would confront her because she was outside the school premises during school hours, but he just lifted her by the waist and made his way toward the car.

“She began screaming, so I quickly dropped my things and ran to confront the suspected kidnapper.

“The man noticed that people were coming around so he left her and got into the sienna which sped off on the Central Mosque Express Way.

“We thank Allah that she is now safe and we thank Him for his mercy,"
