Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Alhaji Abubakar, the father of the Speaker, Zamfara State House of Assembly, Hon. Nasiru Magarya who was recently abducted by bandits, has died while in captivity.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that the victim who was the District Head of Magarya village, was alongside other residents of the area, including family members, abducted in early August by armed men suspected to be bandits terrorizing parts of the State.<\/p>\n

However, 16 victims, including a three-month old baby Khadija Muazu, and her mother Hauwa Muazu, were rescued by the State police command on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The State Commissioner of Police, CP Ayuba Elkanah who confirmed the rescue, said the victims were abandoned by their abductors who are fleeing the forest following offensives been unleashed against them by security operatives.<\/p>\n

The commissioner stated that the speaker\u2019s father was still missing as he could not be found amongst the rescued victims.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, the elder brother of the deceased, Malam Dahiru Magarya who was among the released kidnapped victims told newsmen in the State that the Speaker\u2019s father had died of heart attack while in the abductors\u2019 den.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the bandits\u2019 kingpins popularly known as Kachalla informed me that my brother died due to heart failure while in captivity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were separated when they kidnapped us, they took my brother to another camp but it was Kachalla, one of the commanders of the bandits that told me about the death of my brother which was a result of a heart attack hours before our rescue,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The State\u2019s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Muhammed Shehu could not be reached as of the time of filing this report. His phone line was not reachable at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
