Operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) have arrested one of the suspected kidnappers of the mother of Dauda ‘Rarara‘ Kahutu, the famous Hausa singer.
On June 28, Halima Adamu, the singer’s mother, was abducted
at her residence in Kahutu village of Danja LGA in Katsina.
Halima, however, regained freedom on Wednesday after nearly
three weeks in captivity.
According to Daily Trust, the DSS operatives also killed one
suspect during a gun duel and recovered N26.5 million in the process.
The news outlet quoted a source to have said that the Kano
police command attacked a gang of five bandits in Makarfi bushes where they
planned to split the ransom.
“One Hamisu Tukur, is currently in custody with gunshot
injuries, while Bature was killed,” the source added.
About three weeks ago, some bandits were said to have
silently raided Halima’s village. Residents never heard gunshots during the
operation which “took only a few minutes”.
Halima was said to have gently followed the attackers when
they struck at her home.
Some reports also claimed that the abductors specifically
picked Rarara’s mother while leaving other residents behind.
Born in Katsina, Rarara gained widespread popularity after
his performances during the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rallies in
Kano — before the 2023 general election.
In March 2023, his house in Kano was invaded by hoodlums and
set ablaze.
