Dr. Shetttima Ali monguno
elder statesman regained freedom, returned home this morning under tight
security from Marte -Chad border towns.
Gunmen on Friday abducted him shortly after prayers in
his mosque at Mafoni in Maiduguri.
Eyewitnesses told newsmen in Maiduguri that Monguno, a former
Minister of Petroleum
Resources, was kidnapped in his car.
“The elder statesman had just entered his car after the
prayers.
“Some individuals stopped him for a chat before four gun men
invaded the vehicle and ordered other occupants, at gunpoint, to move out,” a
witness, Malam Mohammed Inusa, said.
Another witness, Malam Ibrahim Shehu, corroborated Inusa’s
statement, saying the kidnappers pretended to be friends trying to greet the
elder statesman before pulling out their guns from their dresses.
“The four of them entered the car before ordering the driver
to move.
“The car moved toward the Dandal Police Station before we
lost sight of it,” Shehu said.
