A bride, her parents and some friends who were abducted by bandits in Chacho village, Wurno Local Government Area of Sokoto State, have regained their freedom after spending seven weeks in captivity.
The development was disclosed in a post shared on X by security analyst Bakatsine.
According to the post made on Wednesday, the victims were released on Tuesday after ransom was paid to their abductors.
Bakatsine added that the freed victims are currently receiving medical treatment at Isa Hospital in Sokoto State.
“A bride, her parents and friends abducted by bandits in Chacho village, Wurno LGA of Sokoto State, have regained freedom after seven weeks in captivity. They were released yesterday following ransom payments. They are currently receiving medical care at Isa Hospital.
“How many more abductions, ransom payments, and traumatized families will it take before lasting security reaches these communities?,” Bakatsine asked.
Authorities are yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
