After nine days in captivity, the Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture (BoA), Alwan Ali-Hassan, has regained freedom from his abductors.
Ali-Hassan was on March 28 kidnapped by bandits who bombed the Abuja-Kaduna train with over 362 passengers.
Confirming his release to The Nation, a senior official at the bank said, Ali-Hassan regained his freedom on Wednesday.
The official, who did not specify if any ransom was paid to his abductors, said family and friends of the bank’s managing director are grateful to God for his release.
He said: “We are grateful to God for his release and we pray never to witness this. We also pray others get released soon”.
