BREAKING: Gen Tsiga regains freedom after 56 days in terrorists’ den

Published on April 02, 2025 at 07:57 PM

Brigadier-General Maharazu Tsiga (rtd), former Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has been released after spending 56 days in captivity.
Tsiga was abducted on February 5, 2025, from his hometown in Bakori Local Government Area of Katsina State, alongside nine other residents.

Despite his family paying a ransom, his captors held him for additional weeks before finally releasing him.

Reports suggest conflicting figures regarding the ransom amount, with some claiming N60m was paid.

However Daily Trust said reliable sources indicate the actual sum was three times higher.

A family member disclosed that after the payment, the kidnappers remained silent for a week before allowing Tsiga to speak with his family.

Although the abductors later demanded additional funds, no further payment was made.

Tsiga was eventually freed and is reportedly in good condition. Sources indicate he is being taken to Abuja from Zamfara State.

A senior military source confirmed his release, and family members have expressed relief over his safe return.
