The operatives of the Department of State Service (DSS), have killed one and arrested the other abductors of former President Muhammadu Buhari’s praise singer and famous Hausa singer, Dauda Kahutu Rarara’s mother after a gun duel.
Confirming the development in a statement issued on Friday in Kano State, the DSS source said the operatives stormed the den of the kidnappers deep in Makarfi Forest in Kaduna State in the army hours of Friday and took them by surprise while they were sharing the ransom they collected.
According to the source: “The operatives were able to overpower the kidnappers, killing one instantly and arresting another who is receiving treatment from gunshots he received, while the N26.5 million paid to them was recovered.”
He added that the operation was carried out after careful intelligence traced the kidnappers to Makarfi Forest.

He said: “The operation was so successful that the other kidnapper who is receiving treatment is helping the operatives with some credible information on how they kidnapped innocent Nigerians.”
“I can confidently tell you that the kidnappers, Hamisu and Bature, are Fulanis.
“The one receiving treatment, Bature, is helping the operatives with information on their activities.”
