A Sokoto-based millionaire, Alhaji Abu Dankure, who was kidnapped Thursday last week, regained his freedom this evening after the payment of ransom by his family. Family source confirmed to SaharaReporters that the sum of N50 million naira was paid for his freedom. However, the source said the family raised the sum of thirty million naira while the Sokoto state government paid the balance of twenty million naira. Earlier in the day, Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto State paid a visit to the family of the 70 years-old business mogul and assured his family that he is in good health condition and will soon be released by his abductors. On how the ransom was paid, a family source disclosed that the money was paid in dollars, and the payment was done in Dubai, United Arab Emirate through the agent of the kidnappers. The Sokoto state police command through it spokesman DSP Al-Mustapha Sani confirmed the kidnapping last week and said no arrest was made in connection with the incident.

CyberG: Is this the Nigeria of fresh-air GEJ? It looks like Nigerians will choke on this fresh-air for sure, enjoy it as much as you can! If it kills you, good riddance! No ,they are already getting used to the foul smelling and wretched "fresh air". Nigeria- bad followership begets bad leadership It is the new normal . They will still go to the next d 'bang concert ,ignoring all the signs. Especially to my brothers in the SW. Rwanda,Angola,Congo all started like this NIGERIA IS ALREADY AT WAR. |
