Also kidnapped was the couple’s driver.
Mrs Hassana Garuba who is a magistrate and the driver were abducted at Kabba, Kogi State,on their way to Auchi,the home town of the deceased to prepare for his burial.
She was however released last night.
Mrs Garuba was in the company of three of her children and her aged mother in law when the hoodlums struck but the old woman and the children were left untouched.
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State asked the police to step in immediately to rescue the captive.
Alhaji Zakawanu Garuba, 54, was a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and served as speaker between 2007 and 2009.
He died in Abuja following a brief illness.
This is the second time Mrs.Garuba would be kidnapped,the first being five years ago when she was working as a magistrate in Benin.
A huge ransom was paid to get her released.
She subsequently relocated to Abuja.

ReplyDeleteWho read the story about one kidnapped victim who could speak Hausa and narrated how the kidnappers claimed they bought the road and so operate without fear or haste?
ReplyDeleteI did! Think it was the story of that kidnapped Journalist. Or am I mistaking it for the arrested dare devil kidnapper Wadume. The Police and of course the Army are compromised.
DeleteNo one is talking about the driver like he's not a person too. Hope he was released as well?
ReplyDeleteThey were all released. She's the focus because she was kidnapped few hours after her husband died.
DeleteThey keep kidnapping people on this particular road. Is it so hard for Govt to put police and Military on dis stretch of road. Instead they will be extorting innocent ppl wearing dreads and carryn iphone on comm roads.
