"I hope to see him soon," she whispered to Chronicle Reporter Shirwin Campbell yesterday. "I hope he is safe and nothing has happened to him."
Mrs. Ibrahiml's appeal to the kidnappers comes amid reports that the Anti-Kidnapping Squad is working feverishly to the kidnapped victim returned safely to his family.
Ibrahiml was reportedly forced into a getaway motorcar, which sped east along Brickdam College instructor/teacher, Raymond Ali, who was in the company of the Director, was shot in the foot but escaped the kidnappers.

Shahnaz, informed the Guyana Chronicle that she has not heard anything since her husband's disappearance.

"I hope to see him soon," she reiterated. "I hope he is safe."
To date no contact or ransom demand has been made by the kidnappers.
