Daily Trust reported one resident simply identified as Sadiq saying the abductors however have not released a six-year-old girl who was abducted alongside the released.
Sadiq stated that the girl identified as Ummi was held because the bandits said they like her while informing her parents that they have abducted her.
Meanwhile, Ummi’s parents were not among the abducted.
Sadiq said, “One of them said he had not given birth to any child in his life as such he would adopt the girl.

“She has become his daughter as he promised to take good care of her. The girl is still with them,” as reported Daily Trust.
The victims were released upon payment of N4 million while other conditions were in play.
One of the conditions was that the local vigilantes must disarm themselves.
The released victims have already been united with their families.
However the Zamfara State Police Command has neither released an official statement nor its spokesperson, SP Muhammad Shehu.
