Former NFF secretary regains freedom from kidnappers

A former secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Sani Toro, former assistant coach of the Nigeria Super Eagles, Garba Yila and one of their friends, Alhaji Isa Jah, have been freed by their abductors.

The three were kidnapped at a village around Akwanga in Nasarawa state.

They left Abuja at about 5.00pm on Saturday after attending the wedding of the son of a former NFF president, Aminu Maigari, and were kidnapped at about 7.30pm.

A family source had told newsmen on Sunday that the kidnappers had contacted their host, Maigari, and demanded the sum of N150 million before releasing them.

However, they were said to have regained freedom at about 5.00am on Tuesday.

This is after spending over 60 hours in captivity.
