The 80-year-old mother-in-law of
Aminu Masari, governor of Katsina state, has regained freedom after one week in
custody of her abductors.
The governor’s mother-in-law was
abducted last Friday at her home in the Sabon Gari area of the state.
In a statement on Friday, Gambo
Isah, spokesman of the Kaduna police command, said Maistiyari, mother of Binta,
the governor’s wife, was released on Thursday.
Isah did not specify if any
ransom was paid but he confirmed that
she had been reunited with her family.
“I am very happy to inform you
that the the mother in- law of His Excellency, Aminu Masari, has been released
by her abductors yesterday 14/03/2019 by 16:00hrs,” Isah said.
“She is hale and hearty. She has
already been reunited with her family after necessary medical check-ups.”
In addition, the command said it
has also arrested one Haruna Adamu, a “notorious” kidnapper, from Zamfara
state.
“The syndicate attacked the house
of one Mustapha Sani ‘M’ of Bakon Zabo Village, Batsari; and attempted to
kidnap his two wives but they were resisted,” Isah said.
“They were pursued and the said Haruna
was arrested by a combined team of Police and vigilante members of the
village.”
