A family source said the senatorial candidate of Jigawa South, who is also House of Representatives member from Kiyawa, Tijjani Ibrahim Gaya reported the matter to the DSS, two days ago.
“As God would have it just two days after the report of the matter to DSS in Kano, our mother was rescued by the operatives and we did not pay a single Kobo as ransom,” the source said.
The family member added that the abductors of Hajia Binta had earlier demanded N100m ransom but was rescued unhurt by the DSS.
When contacted the DSS declined commenting on the matter, however, an official of the service confirmed the operations and the rescue of the senatorial candidate mother.
According to the security source, the DSS rescued Hajia Binta at about 4:00am on Saturday after storming the Kidnappers den.
