Dr. Orhember, who spoke to newsmen, thanked Operation Zenda and the police commissioner, CP Garba Mukkadas for their quick intervention.

Narrating his ordeal, the medical doctor said some gun men stormed his house and in a commando style, blindfolded him and took him away.

He stated that for the three days he stayed in their hideout, he was lying on the ground and being beaten. He said they bruised his head with iron while his ankle and leg were shot at by one of the abductors as they kept asking him to provide money which he said he never had.

He therefore gave glory to God when the police came in swiftly to rescue him, saying he remained thankful to God for saving his life.
