According to PT, Sani's death came 6 months after he was kidnapped along Kaduna-Abuja road.
He had barely returned to the country after spending weeks abroad for medical care when he was abducted.
“He was kidnapped in August 2016 which was just a few days after he returned from foreign trip to get medical attention,” Mr. Adamu said. “He had not been able to recover since then.” May his soul rest in peace.
