This was contained in a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Muhammad Shehu, on Saturday, November 4, 2023.

Shehu quoted Sani as expressing his gratitude to all persons and institutions that have been unrelenting in efforts and prayers to ensure the safe return of Ayuba.

The governor also assured that the Kaduna State Government will continue to give security agencies all the support required to make schools in the state safe and secure.

Ayuba was among the 121 students who were kidnapped by bandits in July 2021 from their school premises in Maraban Damishi, Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Shehu, however, noted that Ayuba has since been reunited with his family.
