The Secretary of the Kano State Universal Basic Education Board, Alhaji Uba Muhammad, who was abducted by suspected kidnappers on March 3, has been released.
A source told Solacebase that Alhaji Uba Muhammad was released on Monday night after the payment of about N5million.
The Public Relations Officer of the Kano State Police, SP Magaji Majiya, confirmed the release of the SUBEB Secretary in an interview with Solacebase in Kano on Tuesday.
He said that Muhammad regained his freedom late on March 5 after spending two days in captivity.
“We cannot confirm whether ransom was paid or not because I don’t have details of the release of the victim,” Majiya said.
But speaking on the release, Hajia Amina Umar, Director of Social Mobilisation at SUBEB headquarters in Kano, said the secretary was now in his hometown and that he is in good health.
“As I am talking to you now the secretary is with his family at Shiye Village in the Bunkure Local Government Area of Kano State.
“We thank everyone, especially well-wishers for all the effort and concern shown during the trying moment,” Umar said.
