After spending about 50 days in captivity with their abductors, a pregnant woman, a nursing mother, another woman, and her four children have regained their freedom in Kaduna State.
The armed bandits invaded the Sabon Gyero community four days before the end of the Ramadan fast, killing one person and abducting seven others.
Residents said neighbouring communities, including Dokan Mai-Jama’a, Kyauta, and Dan Hono II in Millennium City, Chikun Local Government Area of the state, have witnessed repeated bandit attacks this year amid the wave of insecurity in the area.
DAILY POST gathered that the victims regained their freedom on Thursday, May 7, 2026, and returned home amid jubilation from residents of the Sabon Gyero community in Millennium City.
Investigations revealed that ransom money and motorcycles were allegedly delivered to the kidnappers after a series of negotiations.
Sources disclosed that one of the pregnant women had earlier regained her freedom about three weeks ago, while the remaining victims returned home on Thursday.
The attackers were also said to have stormed a phone charging centre in the area, where they killed a young man identified as Abdullahi Lawal, popularly known as “Kurma.”
The spokesman of the Kaduna State Police Command, ASP Mansir Hassan, could not be reached for comment to confirm the development.
