The kidnapped traditional ruler of Jaba Chiefdom in Kaduna State, Gyet
Maude has regained his freedom.
He was released by his abductors on Wednesday evening after spending
two days with his abductors
The 83-year-monarch of Jaba Chiefdom was kidnapped on Monday by
gunmen suspected to be kidnappers on his farm at Gitata community in
Nasarawa State.
The kidnappers yesterday demanded a N100 million ransom before they
will release the traditional Ruler.
Although the police authorities and Kaduna state government are yet to
confirm the release of the first class traditional ruler, a source within the
traditional council, Anthony Maude, said that he returned to his palace
along with some of his aides.
The source, however, did not say if any ransom was paid or if the royal
father was rescued by security operatives.
