Maharazu Tsiga, former director-general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), regained her freedom on Friday after being imprisoned for 22 days. On Friday night, a source confirmed to the channel that Tsiga had been released. He said General Tsiga is receiving medical care at an undisclosed hospital for safety reasons.
The gunman, led by the infamous robber Kingpin Babaro, demanded that TSIGA release R250 million. But it is not clear whether any money has been paid for his freedom. Government officials and security agencies, including the Katsina State Police Department, have not commented on Tsiga’s freedom.
Former NYSC DG was kidnapped by unspecified bandits at his residence in Tsiga Village, Bakori local government area, Katsina State. During the attack, the two people were injured. One of the gunmen was mistakenly considered dead by his gang members.
