July 29, (THEWILL) – The paramount ruler (Kpop Ham) of Jaba people in Kwoi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Dr. Jonathan Danladi Gyet Maude, who was abducted by kidnappers on Tuesday, has regained freedom.

Anthony Maude, a brother to the first-class chief in Kaduna state, told journalists that the monarch was released in the evening on Wednesday.

The abductors of the 83-year-old monarch had demanded N100 million after abducting him from his farm located in Panda, along the Kwoi-Keffi highway. But his brother, Anthony Maude did not give details on whether the ransom was paid or not.

The authorities are yet to react to the development

THEWILL recalls that the abduction of the Kpop Ham came after a similar abduction of 83-year-old Emir of Kajuru, Kajuru LGA of Kaduna, Alhaji Hassan Adamu.

He was kidnapped from his house along with about 12 members of his family, including his wife and children.

However, respite came the Emir’s way when the police and other security personnel were deployed to comb all the forest, and less than 24 hours he was rescued.

The Kpop Ham, Danladi Gyet Maude is the fourth monarch to be kidnapped.

In December 2017, the paramount ruler of Ikulu land, Zangon Kataf LGA, Agwam Akulu, Chief Sidi Kukah, who is the younger brother to Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, was abducted from his palace and kept in the bush for over two weeks before he was eventually released by his abductors after ransom was paid.

In October 2018, the Agom Adara, Dr Maiwada Galadima, was also kidnapped on his way back from Kaduna, after attending a meeting convened by the Kaduna State Government.

However, after ransom was paid for his freedom, the kidnappers slew him and dumped his corpse along the Kaduna-Abuja Expressway.
