Kidnapped retired Colonel, Mr. Rabiu Garba Yandoto and his two children have finally regained from the camp of their abductors.
Reports claim a fee of N10 million was paid as ransom before they were released.
The retired soldier who confirmed this to newsmen on Tuesday, said the bandits were given the sum of N10 million instead of the N5 million earlier agreed on.
“After the collection of the N10 million ransom, the bandits took me and my children to a place near Faskari town in Katsina State and asked us to find our way out,“
According to him, it was very terrible being in the bandits’ den, pointing out that he was full of thanks to Almighty God because they were not killed by the bandits.
Colonel Yandoto did not rule out the fact that his abduction was politically motivated, stressing that though there was no evidence to prove that.
Yandoto and his two children were abducted by bandits along Gusau-Tsafe road when they were returning to their country home last Friday.
