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.

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. However, Kure's car was recovered in Gagi area of Kware Local Government a few hours after the incident.
