According to her,"Rukkayat is from Gbodofu compound but she lived in a rented apartment with her husband after their marriage on Emir's road where they were attacked on Wednesday night.
"The husband managed to escape being kidnapped but the wife was taken away by the kidnappers. The kidnappers got in contact with the family and demanded for payment of N50million which they said should be paid before the weekend.
"The family has no such money and that is why we are appealing to philanthropists and members of the public to please assist us so that the kidnappers will not kill our daughter", he said.
The relative said that the incident was reported to the Police at Oja Oba station, Ilorin on Thursday.
