The Emir of Bungudu, Alhaji Hassan Attahiru, has been released after spending a month in captivity.
The Emir’s eldest son, Abdurrahman Hassan Attahiru, confirmed this to BBC, saying that the Emir had been released on the night of Saturday 16 October after spending 32 days in captivity.
He said their father had been released in good health but with little to no loss due to his long stay with the gunmen.
Recall that on September 14, 2021, the Emir of Zamfara State was abducted on his way to Abuja from Kaduna.
There was one policeman who was killed when the Emir was abducted by gunmen.
