The police on Saturday night rescued five sisters who were held hostage after being kidnapped in Abuja.
They were taken from their home in Abuja earlier this month, along with another sister who was later killed.
Six sisters including Nabeeha were abducted along with their father in their house in Abuja on January 2. The abduction sparked outrage in the country.
Nabeeha was later killed by the kidnappers when the family could not pay the ransom demanded.
Nigerians on social media lamented the escalating insecurity in the country and started a donation campaign to raise money for the ransom to secure the release of the remaining five sisters from their abductors.
