A former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Maharazu Tsiga, has been released after spending 22 days in captivity.
A source confirmed his freedom to Channels Television on Friday night, revealing that Tsiga is currently receiving medical attention at an undisclosed hospital for security reasons.
Tsiga was abducted on February 6, 2025, from his residence in Tsiga village, Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State.
During the attack, two individuals sustained injuries, and one of the gunmen was mistakenly shot by his gang.
The kidnappers, led by notorious bandit kingpin Babaro, had demanded ₦250 million for his release.
However, it remains unclear if any ransom was paid.
Government officials and security agencies, including the Katsina State Police Command, have yet to comment on the circumstances surrounding his freedom.
