“Yes, it is true he has returned home. His abductors released him on Monday night. Naturally, he was traumatised but after the horrifying experience, he is now okay. He is fine and we thank almighty Allah for sparing his life.

“The family is also grateful for the overwhelming show of concern by Nigerians who kept calling to support us with words of encouragement,” said Nasiru.

Toro, who was a member of the House of Representatives, was abducted in the night on Saturday, on Abuja-Jos road along with a former Golden Eaglets assistant coach, Garba Iliya.
