The Paramount ruler of Jaba Chiefdom in Kaduna State, Dr.Danladi Gyet Maude, who was abducted two days ago has been released.

His brother, Anthony Maude, told journalists on the phone that the monarch was released in the evening on Wednesday, Vanguard reports.

The 83-year-old Dr.Gyet Maude was abducted on Monday while on his farm in the neighbouring Gitata community of Nasarawa State.

Although his abductors later demanded a N100 million ransom before he would be released, Anthony Maude did not give details on whether the ransom was paid or not.

It was also not disclosed whether he was rescued by security agencies.

The authorities are yet to react on the development.

This,in recent times, was the second high profile abduction involving traditional rulers of Kaduna State extraction.

Earlier, the Chief of Kajuru in the state was abducted at gun point in his palace, but was released with an apology from the hoodlums.

Some of his family members and the Kajuru palace aides are still in captivity.
