Ahmed Abubakar Zakka, his wife and their six-month-old daughter, Fatima, have regained their freedom after being abducted in Kaduna State.

The family ‘s release came days after a video emerged showing Zakka pleading for public assistance while holding his crying infant daughter, as his captors demanded N300 million ransom for their freedom.

According to sources, the victims were released on Thursday and were their way back to Kaduna metropolis.

The family was abducted on October 6, 2026, when bandits invaded Alrahus Estate in Millenium City and reportedly moved from house to house in search of victims.

Days later, a video showing Zakka and his daughter in the custody of the abductors went viral on online days after the incident, triggering widespread outrage across the country.

Details surrounding the family’s release, including the circumstances under which they regained their freedom, were not immediately clear as of the time of filing this report.
