 Menwale na asera wa state police said no ransom was paid for the release of the abducted chairman of a kwaunga local government area, Safiyanu and Daha. The kidnapas demanded the sum of 50 million naira as a ransom for their release. However, the PPRO said the state commissioner of police, Umarat Nadada, had mobilized personnel to go after the hoodlums who then rescued the chairman and one other person was kidnapped alongside. One of the things that assisted us was this partnership. We really appreciated those that partnered us towards carrying his release that yesterday. We were able to mobilize over 100 boat security personnel and locals into the bush and the fragile that we gave to the kidnapas yesterday necessitated his release even without collecting any ransom. While my court is still of this state that they should give us their maximum cooperation, they should know that security is everyone's business. Everybody has to come in so that we secure the state. Whatever information they have, they should give it to us and it's going to be treated with utmost competition.
