There was considerable outcry on Twitter which triggered the trend — #Najeebahandhersisters — after Nabeeha, a student of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, was murdered by kidnappers, whose location are currently unknown.
Twitter users, on Saturday, air their greivances in the wake of an ill-timed tweet by the Force Headquarters Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
Adejobi, who tweeted, on Saturday days after the abduction of the siblings and their father, said, “Pls let the family members or you relate with us codedly. Let them reach out to me on my personal line, and drop a msg there. We have been working on it, but we need some info. We will try our best possible to emplace all necessary measures to rescue them unhurt. But we need to get some info pls. Thanks.”

This was in response to an appeal by a former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, who said, “I join fellow concerned Nigerians in urgently calling on the @PoliceNG through its PPRO @PrinceMoye1 to acknowledge and respond to the unfortunate incident involving the kidnapping of Najeebah and five of her sisters #NajeebahAndHerSisters more than a week ago.
“The information shared by a family member @Adamu_Asiya_ this morning indicated that the kidnappers have tragically killed Najeebah as a warning and demanded a N100 million ransom for the release of the remaining victims.
“We implore the Nigeria Police to prioritize this case and deploy all necessary resources to safely rescue the remaining victims.
“Thank you!”

Nonetheless, this did nothing to assuage the anger of Nigerians. Here are a section of some posts:

Dear ma’am @IretiKingibe
Six girls were kidnapped in Abuja and the kidnappers demanded N60m which the parents couldn't come up with.
One of the daughters was killed today, the others are at risk of getting killed if they're not rescued fast.#Najeebahandhersisters— #Najeebahandhersisters (@kabiru_aminu) January 13, 2024
They’ve been abducted for days now.. kidnapped citizens in the capital city where you and many of your cohorts reside.
E no move you.
At least, will the death of Nabeehah move your weak asses now!!?? #Najeebahandhersisters

I just read about the killing of our daughter Najeeba (400 level, ABU). I also spoke with her father on the remaining 5 of our kidnapped daughters. May Allah forgive her, rescue others & bring absolute peace in Nigeria#Najeebahandhersisters— Prof. Isa Ali Ibrahim, CON (@ProfIsaPantami) January 13, 2024
