Amina Adamu, one of the three housewives abducted four weeks ago along the Takum-Katsina-Ala road in Taraba state’s Takum local government area, has successfully escaped from her kidnappers’ den.
Mallam Maiwada, a relative of her husband, reported that Amina escaped when the kidnappers fell asleep.
He mentioned, however, that two other housewives and the daughter of General T.Y. Danjuma’s brother remain in the kidnappers’ custody.
Additionally, it was reported that the kidnappers detained two individuals who delivered the ransom for the release of the three housewives.
Kidnappers abducted Mr. Benjamin, the brother of General T.Y. Danjuma, along with his wife and daughter. Although they released him after receiving a ransom, they refused to free his wife and daughter.
Meanwhile, residents of Takum are under constant threat from kidnappers who operate day and night along the Takum-Katsina-Ala and Takum-Kashinbila roads.
Bello Haruna, a local resident, informed Wave News that traveling on these two roads is extremely dangerous due to the kidnappers’ activities.

When contacted, the Acting Police Public Relations Officer of the Taraba Police Command, DSP Kwache Gambo, said she would get in touch with the DPO of Takum regarding the incident and call back. However, she had not done so by the time this report was filed.
