Ismail Sahabi, a lecturer at the Federal College of Education in Zaria, Kaduna State, has been released after being held captive for 31 days.
Sahabi was abducted by suspected terrorists on July 18th, along with his brother, Sidi Aliyu Sahabi, and several others, at Kasuwar Magani in Chikun Local Government Area.
The abduction resulted in the tragic death of Mohammed Bashir (Govinda), Chairman of the Tudun Wada, Zaria Butchers Association.
According to Malam Musa Sahabi, a brother to two of the victims, the attack was carried out by an informant.
The victims were finally released on Friday and are currently receiving medical attention to assess their health condition.
While a family source confirmed their release, it remains unclear whether a ransom was paid to secure their freedom.
