Muhammed Mahmood, chairman, board
of Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), and his daughter have been
released by their abductors.
Their release was confirmed by
Hussain Danladi, one of Mahmood’s aides.
Mahmood and his daughter were
abducted along Kaduna-Abuja road on Monday afternoon while travelling from
Kaduna to the federal capital territory (FCT).
His driver was shot dead when
armed bandits opened fire on the vehicle they were travelling in.
Danladi reportedly said no ransom
was paid to secure their release.
However, there is no information
on the the other travellers who were kidnapped alongside the duo.
Several cases of kidnappings have
been recorded along the route in the past months. Many commuters have abandoned
the route for the train station as a result of insecurity.
All efforts by the government to
end the activities of kidnappers and
bandits have not yielded the desired result.
