The three children of Upper Customary Court Judge Janet Gimba, who were kidnapped on June 24, 2024, have been released.
Janet and Musa Gimba, their parents, announced the news on social media.
The children had been held by bandits demanding a ransom of N150 million.
“We are relieved and grateful for their safe return,” Musa Gimba shared, without revealing if a ransom was paid.
This comes days after Judge Gimba was released. She and her four children were kidnapped at their home in Mahuta, Chikun Local Government Area, near Kaduna.
Tragically, their 14-year-old son, Victor, was killed during the kidnapping.
The Kaduna State Police, along with other security agencies, had been working to secure the hostages’ release and apprehend the bandits.
