Bungudu Emirate Council in Zamfara state has announced the return home of their emir, Sarkin Fulanin Bungudu, Hassan Atto, 32 days after he was kidnapped.

The emir was kidnapped in mid-September with his police orderly on the Kaduna-Abuja highway while they were travelling to Abuja. The gunmen killed another police officer attached to the emir during the incident .

A statement issued on Sunday by the emirate council did not however say whether the emir was released by the bandits on payment of a ransom, or rescued by security personnel.
A nephew of the emir, who is also an aide of the Zamfara State Governor, Bello Matawalle, confirmed the release of the monarch.

“They’re presently in Kaduna with some family members,” he said.

Read the statement by the emirate council below:

On behalf of the family and Bungudu Emirate, we wish to thank everyone for the prayers and support during this trying time.

We appreciate all the efforts of Kaduna State Government throughout this challenging period.
Our immense gratitude to the Zamfara State Government in playing a key role to see our father returned home safely.
