A 13-year-old girl, Hasana Bulus, has died barely 24 hours after regaining freedom from seven months of captivity in the hands of bandits in Kaduna State.
Hasana was abducted from her home in Awon village, Kachia Local Government Area, on April 20, 2026, alongside other residents.
According to Reuben Buhari, a former aide to late Kaduna State Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa, the teenager was released on November 2 and rushed to a hospital in Kachia, where she reportedly died the following day.
In a related incident, bandits attacked Akwando community in Kachia LGA at about 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, November 4, killing two people and abducting 18 others, including women, children and infants.
