“Yes, the two siblings and indigenes of Kebbi State have escaped from their kidnappers and arrived the palace of Wakilin Sarkin Zurun Kaduna and were received by the Wakili around 11:51am today (Sunday). We thank Allah for their escape. “Umar Chonoko went to deliver the N2million and a motorcycle ransom to secure his brother Adamu’s freedom, only for the abductors to hold him back and demanded another N5million ransom.
“N3million was delivered, making a total of N5million , but the abductors made another demand of N10million. “Their demand could not be met. Just this morning, with the assistant of security agents, both of them escaped. “We thank the media, security agencies and all those who helped us in praying for their freedom,” he said.
