National security adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, yesterday handed over two women rescued from kidnappers to their families. According to the NSA, the rescued victims, who were co-wives, were abducted on August 18, in Makarfi Town, Kaduna State, and taken deep into Yadi Forest, in the Kidanda area of Giwa local government area. He said: “For 33 harrowing days, these women endured unimaginable hardship in the hands of their captors. “The kidnappers initially demanded an outrageous ransom of 500 million naira, later reducing it to 200 million naira. “Together, we will continue to prove that terrorism and armed banditry will never defeat the spirit of our people or the resolve of our nation,” Ribadu said.
