A Director at a College of Education in Zamfara State has died in the den of kidnappers three months after he was abducted on his way to his office.
Bashar Sani Maru, Director of Management Information System (MIS) at the College of Education, Maru, Zamfara State, was said to have died on Saturday afternoon. He was abducted in December 2025.
Incidentally, he was abducted a few months after his wife was kidnapped and later released following the payment for an unspecified amount as ransom.
A competent source in the state told Impact Nigeria News Online on Sunday afternoon that the man was abducted on his way to the college and had been in the den of kidnappers since December.
The source added however that the news of his death filtered into the family on Saturday after his body was discovered abandoned at a forest close to a road in Maru.
It was also gathered that the family had earlier begged the kidnappers to receive certain amount as ransom which they rejected, as they said the money was not enough.
The source added that the director is expected to be buried on Sunday in accordance with Islamic rites.
The Northern part of the country, especially the North-West, has been under the grips of kidnappers, bandits as well as terrorists who unleash mayhem on residents of various parts of the region, killing people and abducting others.
