Boy killed for resisting kidnappers’ demand to assault sister

A yet-to-be-identified boy was murdered by suspected kidnappers in Anambra State after allegedly rejecting their oder for him to sexually assault his own sister during an attack.

Human Rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, disclosed this in a post shared on social media.

According to Gwamnishu, the boy was abducted alongside his two sisters by armed men. When the family failed to meet the ransom demand, the kidnappers allegedly subjected the children to inhuman treatment. He said the abductors reportedly ordered the boy to violate one of his sisters. When he refused, they killed him.

“ In Anambra State, a young boy and his two sisters were kidnapped. When the family could not pay ransom, the kidnappers committed unspeakable acts — ordering the boy to violate his own sister. He refused. In their cruelty, they killed him.

This is more than a crime; it is a wake-up call. No child, no woman, no citizen should live under the shadow of such terror.

We urge the Government and security agencies to prioritize the safety of citizens above all else — intensify security presence, dismantle kidnap gangs, and ensure justice for victims.

The safety of the people is the first duty of any Government.”he said

He called on the government and security agencies to take decisive action, urging them to dismantle kidnapping syndicates, intensify security patrols, and ensure swift justice for victims.

Reacting to the report, the spokesperson of the command, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the incident is yet to be reported to the police station.
