Mr Sahabi commended the efforts of the Zamfara and Kaduna state governments for their tireless effort in securing the safe release of the emir.
He added that although the emir was still in a hospital in Kaduna for a medical check-up before returning home, they were comfortable with his health condition.
“We salute the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) and Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN) for their support in facilitating the release of the Emir,” he said.
