The bandits who kidnapped a former Director at the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), Ahmad Abdulkadir, have released him after nine days in their custody.
The bandits, however, refused to release his 15-year-old daughter, Laila Ahmad, who was kidnapped alongside with him in Bakori, Katsina State.
The news of Abdulkadir’s release was disclosed to newsmen by an associate of the journalist, who said he was released on Thursday evening.
The source, who asked to be anonymous, confirmed that Abdulkadir’s daughter, Laila, who is seriously sick, is still with the bandits.
He said, “Yes. He has been released but his daughter, Laila, who is seriously sick, is still with them.”
Recall that the gunmen attacked Bakori Housing Quarters about two weeks ago and took away the man and his daughter.
They requested a N50 million ransom for the release of the broadcaster and N20 million for his daughter’s release.
