The Niger State commissioner for information, Alhaji Muhammed Sani Idris, who was released on Thursday night after being kidnapped on Sunday at Babban
He said they started showing concern at a point as he kept on preaching and at last they decided to release him.
“In fact, the first thing I did when I came out was to send a text to my governor to thank him for having the strength of heart not to allow any state machinery intervene in my release because we took a decision in council that the Niger State government is averse to payment of ransom to bandits for any situation, for any case and now it has happened to me.”
The commissioner said the people would be surprised that he believed that when they captured him he felt that God had promised to take every believer through trials and tribulations and that for those that are able to show resilience and withstand there was reward thereafter. “I held onto the leader and told him that I forgave them for all the humiliations they had taken me through. They began to shed tears and they said they prayed that their meeting with me would be an end point to their banditry.”
