Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) in Kano have apprehended a key suspect behind the kidnapping of Hajiya Hauwa’u Adamu, mother of renowned musician Dauda Kahutu Rarara.
According to sources within the Command, the covert operation resulted in the recovery of N26.5 million and the neutralization of one suspect.
A highly placed source revealed that the tactical team, acting on reliable intelligence, busted a gang of five bandits in Makarfi bushes, where they were sharing the ransom.
“One Hamisu Tukur, is currently in custody with gun shot injuries, while Bature was killed,” the source said.
The kidnapping incident occurred three weeks ago when armed men broke into Hajiya Adamu’s residence in Kahutu and abducted her.
She was held captive for 20 days before regaining her freedom.
