Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello Sunday night received 53 rescued passengers of Niger State Transport Authority bus.
Bello received them at the government house, Minna, two weeks after they were kidnapped by armed men at Kundu village along Zungeru in Niger State.
He hinted that their release followed series of dialogue, consultations, and hard work of relevant security agencies and stakeholders. x
“I was delighted to receive the 53… bus passengers who were abducted by armed bandits a week ago,” the governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello, said in a tweet late Sunday.
It is unknown if a ransom was paid but state representatives have previously said they would not pay any.
