A Kaduna cleric, Rev. Andrew Duniya, his wife, Mrs. Jemimah Andrew, and their daughter
have regained freedom after five months in captivity. 

 

Bandits invaded Gidan Ali community, Ikulu Chiefdom, Zango Kataf Local Government
Area on Sunday 26th April, 2026, and abducted the family members. 

 

The kidnappers allegedly demanded N270m ransom for their release.

 

However, the family’s return has been overshadowed by tragedy, as their son passed
while in captivity.

 

A journalist confirmed the development on Tuesday, October 20, 2026 after paying
a visit to the family at their residence.  

 

The circumstances surrounding their release have not been disclosed.
