The family of the late Agom Adara Dr. Galadima who was kidnapped on the 19th October 2018 on his way back from Kaduna where he had attended the “Send Forth” prayer for his niece Rahab Amos Galadima that held at the Nazareth Baptist Church Ungwan Boro are deeply worried about her state of health since he was murdered by his kidnappers after collecting an undisclosed amount in ransoms.
According to close family sources “Rahab has been inconsolable right from the day her uncle the Agom Adara was kidnapped, because she holds herself kind of responsible. She feels that if he didn’t attend her bridal shower he wouldn’t have been kidnapped. Rahab was hopeful that he would be released especially after the kidnappers demanded for ransoms. But once he was killed she became devastated and her State of health a concern for the family, considering that her uncle has been looking after them, since the death of their father”.
The Agom Adara was abducted on Friday, 19 October 2018, a day after 55 persons were killed in Kasuwan Magani. When the State Council of Chiefs and Emirs met the governor on Tuesday, 23 October 2018, the Agwatyap reported that HRH Agom Adara had previously expressed concern about the growing problem of kidnapping on that road.
It has since become clear that there is no truth in the initial reports that the late Chief was in Kaduna for a meeting between the State Governor Mallam Nasir El -Rufai and the State Council of Chiefs and Emirs.
Family sources indicate that a new date for the wedding between Rahab and her heartthrob Faith Luka Zarmai which was to have taken place on 27th October at the Assemblies of God Church Narayi Kaduna would be fixed after the burial of the late Chief. It is hoped that Rahab would have sufficiently recovered from her shock and move on with her life.
“We will continue praying and counseling her to accept the death of her uncle and father as the Lords doing. We believe the Agom Adara has gone to rest in the bosom of the Lord,” said the close family source.
