Bandits abducted Mr Bunza from his residence on July 26.
A statement on Monday by Bashir Usman, the command’s spokesman, said the judge’s family and the state ministry of justice confirmed his freedom.
“His release has been confirmed by his family and the State Ministry of Justice. Although the kidnappers made a ransom demand, the command maintains its firm stance against ransom payments,” he said.
He stated that with Mr Bunza now released, police and other security agencies had intensified investigative efforts to track down the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
