After nine days in captivity, the Managing Director of the Bank of Agriculture (BoA), Alwan Ali-Hassan, has regained freedom from his abductors.

The M.D. was declared missing following the attack on an Abuja-Kaduna train on March 28.

Confirming his release to journalists, a senior official at the bank said, Ali-Hassan regained his freedom on Wednesday.

The official, who did not specify if any ransom was paid to his abductors, said family and friends of the bank’s managing director are grateful to God for his release.

However, there has been no official confirmation neither from the state government nor the state police command as of the time of filing this report.
