Dr. Abu Ibrahim Momoh Tahir, a medical doctor from Auchi, has been rescued.
According to a viral video, the rescue of Dr. Abu Ibrahim Momoh Tahir was credited to the efforts of Auchi hunters and local vigilantes.
Recall that the doctor was kidnapped along with his brother, Abu Tahir, on January 2, 2026, at their residence in Auchi, Edo State.
The kidnappers had initially demanded a ransom of N200 million, which was later reduced to N100 million, but tragically, Abu Tahir was killed during the process.
Truth Live News Media had earlier reported that the distraught mother of the abducted medical doctor had pleaded with well-meaning Nigerians for donations to secure the release of her son, saying delay could be very dangerous.
“Please I’m here to solicit for money to release my boy out of kidnappers’ hands. They kidnapped two, one has been killed, it remains Dr. Abu Babatunde Ibrahim in their den. The earlier the better, masses should assist me.
“Whoever has, nothing is too small, they should please have mercy on me, they should donate for me to enable me free my sọn from the hands of the kidnappers. They’ve been requesting now for N100 million and I cannot provide the N100 million, till date. He is still in their den. He was adopted in Friday, [January] 2nd.
“Delay could be dangerous again, I don’t want this one to be killed. International community should please assist me to bail my son out. He is a medical doctor serving the nation. He was coming from his office when he was abducted. I never knew this could happen to him, please have mercy on me,” she appealed.
Thankfully, the son has been rescued and reunited with his family, courtesy, efforts of the local vigilante and hunters.
