Quollon, has regained freedom from
suspected kidnappers after 11 months,
following a massive man-hunt of his
abductors by the Police in Katsina State
in northern Nigeria.
Quollon, 63, kidnapped last year in Rimi
Town in Katsina State, was on a routine
official assignment in the area.
He works with Vanet company of France.
Kaduna State Police commissioner, Mr
Olufemi Adenaike, presented Ouollon to
reporters at the Police headquarters.
He said that the man escaped from the
kidnappers den on Saturday at Dan
Magaji village in Zaria, Kaduna State and
reported to a nearby Police station for
safety.
He did not give details on how Ouollon
escaped for security reasons.
The Police commissioner, however,
handed him over to the French Embassy
officials at the command headquarters in
Kaduna.
“Arrangements have been concluded to
fly the man back to France on Sunday,”
he said.
According to the Mr. Adenaike, the
kidnappers took the French national to
Kano where he spent nine months before
taking him back to Zaria for another two
months until his escape.
“No ransom was paid to the kidnappers
and the investigation into the issue is still
ongoing,” he added.
