The Kaduna State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Mukhtar Aliyu, has confirmed the release of the abducted Chief of Ikulu, Yohana Sidi Kukah.
Aliyu told the News Agency of Nigeria in a telephone interview on Thursday that the Chief has been reunited with his family and was hale and hearty.
He said: “The release followed intense pressure from our Anti-kidnap Unit.”
