Kidnapped Emir of Kajuru, Alhassan Adamu, has regained his freedom, authorities confirmed to Channels Television on Monday.
He was released at about 5 pm, after spending a night in the custody of the bandits. Although the abductors had demanded a N200 million ransom, it is unclear if any money was paid for his release.
A top official of the Kajuru council area as well as the spokesman of the Kajuru Emirate council, Dahiru Abubakar confirmed the release of the 85-year-old traditional ruler to Channels Television.
He said Emir Adamu was released at an undisclosed location within Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna and is in good condition. But 13 other members of his family who were kidnapped alongside the Emir are still in captivity.
