Kidnapped former NLC leader, Takai Shamang, regains freedom
A former leader of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Takai Shamang, abducted by kidnappers on July 5, has been freed.
The abductors invaded his Biniki village in the Kaura Local Government of Kaduna State and took away the 78-year-old former unionist.
One of his daughters, Grace Abbin, confirmed her father’s release via a post on her WhatsApp status.
Mrs Abbin said, “To God Almighty be the Glory. My family lacks words to appreciate every one of you for the safe return of our daddy, comrade Elder Takai A. Shamang.’’
She, however, did not state the circumstances of his release and whether a ransom was paid.
This is the second time the elder statesman was kidnapped within two years.
Mr Shamang is currently the President and Founder of Gantys Aid for Widows, Orphans and Needy Foundation.
Kaduna has become a target of kidnappers with prominent figures, including clergies and journalists, kidnapped in recent times.
