Gunmen had broken into the residence of Rara’s mother in Kahutu village in Danja Local Government Area of Kano State and abducted her on Friday, June 28, 2024.
She, however, regained freedom after spending 20 days in captivity.
A highly placed source in the secret service told Daily Trust that N26.5 million was also recovered in a covert operation.
The source said the Kano command’s tactical team, based on reliable intelligence, busted a gang of five bandits in Makarfi bush where they were sharing the ransom.
“One Hamisu Tukur, is currently in custody with gunshot injuries, while Bature was killed,” the source said.
