A Lebanese business
Gunmen seized Hassan Zein from the Sharada industrial area of Kano on Monday morning, in an area plagued by Islamist militant groups known for protracted and often deadly kidnappings.
Authorities feared that Ansaru, an al Qaeda-linked jihadist group that specializes in kidnapping and often killing foreigners, and which is based in Kano, was behind it.
Police spokesman Magaji Majiya said Zein was found on the roadside unharmed after several main roads leading out of the city were blocked as part of the search for the Lebanese businessman.
“The abducted Lebanese has been reunited with his family. No arrest has been made yet, but investigation is in top gear with a view to arresting the perpetrators of this act,” he said.
