Sani Bello, member of the house of representatives from Mashi/Dutsi federal constituency, Katsina, has been released by his captors.
According to Daily Trust, Shittu Shittu, Katsina state chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), disclosed this, saying a ransom of N10 million was paid.
Bello was kidnapped on Wednesday around Gobirawa village of Birnin Gwari, Kaduna.
“The abductors asked that the member’s driver should take the money to a designated place and just between 15 and 20 minutes later, Bello was released,” Shittu said.
