From Maiharaji Altine
Zamfara bandits have finally released Colonel Rabi,u Garba Yandoto (retd) and his children after payment of N10 million ransom.
Speaking to PUNCH on phone, Colonel Yandoto (retd) said the bandits were given N10 million instead of the N5 million as earlier mentioned.
“They collected N10 million and brought me together with my children near Faskari town in Katsina state and told us to find our way home “.
“As I am speaking to you, we were released barely one hour ago and I thanked God that I was not killed while in the bandits’camp”.
He thanked all those who contributed to his release.
When asked whether his abduction was politically motivated, Yandoto said, “I can’t rule out that possibility”.
“I don’t want to say much about the issue now”. Concluded Yandoto.
Recall that, Yandoto and his two children were abducted by bandits along Gusau-Tsafe road when he was returning to his village few days ago.
