According to the family, the sisters were seized by armed men who burst into their home from Abuja city centre.
The attackers killed one sister, 21-year-old Nabeeha Al-Kadriyar, when a ransom deadline passed.
According to a statement by the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, the girls were rescued in the Kajuru forest in neighbouring Kaduna State.
Kidnapping for ransom has in recent times increased in the Federal Capital Territory, with criminal gangs targeting highways, apartments and even snatching people from their homes in estates within the city.
After public outrage over the sisters’ case, President Bola Tinubu condemned what he called the recent spate of kidnappings and bandit attacks.
