One of Nabeeha’s uncles, Jamiu Salman has recounted the harrowing experience of how the kidnapper who killed Al Khadriya Nabeeha had instructed them to go and Identify her body among those killed by the group. He stated that the kidnapper leader had related the urgency of the identification process to prevent the bodies from being mutilated by animals.
He revealed that the next morning, with the assistance of a local familiar with the area, they discovered four corpses—three females and one male. According to him, a photograph of the bodies was taken and sent via WhatsApp and through this process, they identified the deceased as Nabeeha.
He said in an interview with Daily Trust TV, ”The Kidnappers leader said we should go that night or we should go early in the morning. The Kidnappers leader said we should go and identify our own from the people they killed. He said we should go so that the dog will not mutilate the body so that we will not accuse them of raping our child.
So in the morning, we didn’t know the one they killed because they didn’t give us a name. We have an indigene of Bwari who knows those terrains very well. We asked the man to go on the bike. On getting there, he said he saw four corpses, three females and one male. We asked him to take a picture of the Corps so that we could identify if one of our girls was there. So he did that and sent it through WhatsApp. We were able to identify that it was Nabeeha that they killed.”
