Fourteen residents who were abducted in Kubuwo and neighbouring Kaguni communities in Kagarko Local Government Area of Kaduna State have regained freedom after 67 days in captivity.
Recall that the victims were abducted by bandits who invaded the two communities and whisked away the victims amid sporadic shooting in the area.
A member of one of the victims’ family, Shehu Bala, who confirmed the development to Daily Trust on Thursday said the victims were freed on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, at a forest which shares boundaries with Kachia and Kagarko LGAs of the state.
He said an undisclosed ransom including food stuffs, wines, cartons of cigarettes; drugs and Indian hemp as well as recharge cards were purchased for the bandits before the victims were freed.
