Kaduna: Bandits Beg For Forgiveness After Releasing Emir Of Kajuru

A member of the royal house in Kajuru has revealed that bandits who abducted Alhaji Alhassan Adamu, the emir, begged for forgiveness.

Naija News recalls that gunmen suspected to be bandits had on Sunday morning kidnapped the Emir of Kajuru at his residence in Kajuru LGA of Kaduna state.

The gunmen also abducted 13 other family members of the emir including women and children.

However, the Emir was released on Monday while other captives were held.

Speaking to DailyTrust, a source, who was among those who picked up the emir, said the bandits asked for forgiveness before handing over the monarch to his relatives and members of the emirate council.

The source said the bandits had called them through the emir’s phone number shortly after Asr (sunset prayer) and asked them to prepare to receive him.

He said on getting to the location, near Gengere community, three of the bandits; heavily armed and in military uniform, apologised for abducting the emir and sought forgiveness from him.

“We couldn’t believe it. We stood there looking at them while they apologised, saying they had not felt at ease since they abducted him. They told us to go with him while negotiations for the other 13 people will continue tomorrow (Tuesday),” he said.
