Alhaji Muazu Abubakar, father of Zamfara State House of Assembly Speaker, Honourable Nasiru Magarya’s father, has allegedly died in the hands of his abductors.
WuzupNigeria reported that the speaker’s father, his wife and a three weeks old baby were abducted by bandits eight weeks ago along with three other persons.
This was confirmed by the older brother to the deceased, Mallam Dahiru Saraki Magarya, during an interview on Saturday.
Although other victims who were kidnapped alongside the speaker’s father were rescued on Saturday, Abubakar was not.
Speaking on Abubakar’s death, Malam Dahiru who was also kidnapped and rescued on Saturday said the speaker’s father died of a heart attack in the den of the kidnappers.
He said, “One of the bandits’ kingpins popularly known as Kachalla informed me that my brother died due to heart failure while in captivity. We were separated when they kidnapped us, they took my brother to another camp but it was Kachalla, one of the commanders of the bandits that told me about the death of my brother which was a result of a heart attack hours before our rescue.”
