Bandits have reportedly released Kabiru, the son of the murdered district head of Gobir, in Sokoto State, Muhammad Bawa-Isa, after payment of N60 million and five motorcycles as ransom.
Kabiru, we gathered was abducted alongside his father in July while travelling from Sokoto to his hometown, Sabon Birni.
But the monarch was executed on Tuesday after failing to meet the deadline for the payment of ransom.
Confirming Mr Kabiru’s release to Daily Trust, his elder brother, Surajo Isa, said the bandits collected N60 million, and five motorcycles were given to secure their release.
“They came back from the bandits’ den around 8:30 p.m.,” he said.
He also confirmed that their father, who died in captivity, was buried by his abductors.
