The two lecturers abducted in Kaduna six days ago, have reportedly escaped from captivity. The lecturers – Adamu Chonoko from the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria and his brother, Umar Chonoko, from Kaduna Polytechnic – were said to have escaped on Sunday.

The lecturers, who are from Kebbi state, were kidnapped at Mahuta, Igabi local government area of Kaduna. Adamu was the first to be abducted while Umar was captured when he went to deliver the N2 million and a brand-new motorcycle ransom for the release of his brother. After collecting the money and the item from Umar, the abductors demanded an additional ransom of N10 million for the release of the two brothers.

Garba Muhammad, spokesman of Kebbi Indigenes Association in Kaduna state, who broke news of the “escape” of the lecturers in Sunday, said they returned home hale and hearty.
