Adamu Duguri, 65, is an elder brother of the Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed. The retired Deputy Comptroller of the Nigeria Customs Service, who holds the traditional title of Wakilin Bauchi in Bauchi Emirate, was kidnapped on March 25, 2020 by four gunmen. He was released on April 20, 2020.
If you are here in the North, there is nothing you cannot eat. Our food here is uniform. There was no Tuwo. What they gave me were macaroni, rice, and spaghetti. There was a woman there cooking and I would eat the food . When I refused to eat, they gave me fruits. They were very hospitable to me, really.They didn’t talk inside the room; they only used signs but before we parted, I realised that I even knew all the signs.
They said they had so many orphans to take care of and that was why they must kidnap people and collect ransoms though I don’t believe that. I asked them, “How do you get the orphans?” They said from their members, so I realised it was a religious organisation, so I stopped trying to get more on that because it was dangerous. But I asked if they had any relationship with Ibrahim Shekau but I noticed that they hated him. If they had their way, they could kill him.
Yes, because an idle mind will start thinking of how to be like others and to do that, they will take the most dubious route. I said I didn’t have that kind of money and I asked them, “Or are you thinking that the governor will bring Bauchi State money and give you so that they can impeach him?” They told me there is a problem in the House of Assembly regarding whether the governor would take money from the state coffers and give to them. I said maybe in my capacity as a private person, I could get that but since I was there with them, where did they expect me to get the money? Then they became sentimental.
