Bandits have released former president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr Takai Shamang, who was abducted on Friday, 5 July 2024.
Gunmen invaded Shamang’s country home in Biniki village in Kaura local government area of Kaduna State and took away the 78-year-old former unionist.
One of his daughters, Mrs Grace Abbin, confirmed her father’s release via a post on her WhatsApp status.
She wrote: “To God Almighty be the Glory. My family lack words to appreciate everyone of you for the safe return of our daddy, comrade Elder Takai A.Shamang.”
She, however, did not state the circumstances of his release and whether a ransom was paid or not.
