A mother, Hauwa Umara, who was abducted alongside her daughter at Ngurore, Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State, last Sunday has escaped from the den of their abductors. The image-maker of the Adamawa Police command, DSP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, said Hauwa and her daughter have escaped from their kidnappers. Nguroje said the police and members of the vigilance groups gave a hot chase to the kidnappers and while escaping, the kidnappers abandoned their victims.

The kidnappers had last Sunday attacked a police station at Ngurore, a sleepy community along Yola – Numan highway and abducted Hauwa Umara and her daughter.

Meanwhile, the state police command has arrested three persons in connection with cattle rustling in the state. In a separate statement made available to newsmen, the image maker of the command, DSP Sulaiman Nguroje said the trio was arrested in Mayo Belwa and Fufore local governments of the state.
