Bandits have released seventy-five people kidnapped from the Yar Katsina community in Kekun Waje district of Bungudu Local Government Area of Zamfara State.
Daily Trust reported that the released victims were abducted in two major attacks on the community in the past two months.
A resident identified as Sadiq told the publication;
“The armed men, however, held a six-year-old girl identified as Ummi and told her parents that they had adopted her because they like her.
“The parents were not among those kidnapped.
“One of them said he had not born any child in his life as such he would adopt the girl.
“She has become his daughter as he promised to take good care of her. The girl is still with them.
“The residents had to pay N4 million before the victims were released.
“The freed victims have already reunited with their families. Part of the conditions the criminals gave was that the vigilantes must disarm”
