About

Uba Sani is the Governor of Kaduna State in northern Nigeria. He is currently newsworthy due to his involvement in the release of a large group of Christians who were kidnapped in mid-January after criminal gangs attacked three churches in the Kurmin Wali area. According to reports, 183 people were initially abducted. Recent developments indicate that the remaining 89 captives were released on Thursday and received by Governor Sani. The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) also confirmed the release of all 166 villagers and churchgoers taken in the attack. Governor Sani's role in securing the release of these individuals highlights the ongoing security challenges in the region and the efforts of the state government to address them.
