Troops of the Nigerian Army have rescued Hajiya Amina Abubakar, the widow of the late retired Major General Rabe Abubakar.
Hajiya Amina was abducted alongside her husband on May 30 while travelling along the Marabar Musawa–Kafinsoli Road in Matazu Local Government Area of Katsina State.
The couple was held captive in a bandits’ hideout, where Major General Abubakar, a former Director of Defence Information, later died.
Following his death, the kidnappers released his remains to the authorities, while his wife remained in captivity until her rescue by troops.
