The permanent secretary in the Niger state Ministry of Youth and Strategy, Alhaji Adamu Umar, who was kidnapped a week ago, last weekend reunited with members of his family, just as the Niger state governor Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu, described kidnapping as “crime against humanity.”
Alhaji Umar was kidnapped at Dikko junction, on his way to Minna, after a contact session at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, where he was pursuing a Masters’ degree programme.
Umar stopped at Dikko to purchase a gallon of red oil when the kidnappers abducted him.
