Popular Nigerian singer Ado Halliru Daukaka, who went missing on Friday, has been found.
A BBC correspondent reported that the singer spoke to him at the hospital after he was released "He has just spoken to me from a hospital in Lafiya Lamorde, where he is recovering from his kidnap ordeal. It is about 120km (75 miles) from the north-eastern city of Yola where he was abducted." BBC Reporter
He said the kidnappers targeted him because he had released a song critical of politicians. Mr Daukaka said they tricked him into a car on Friday morning by asking him to record a song for them.
They drove out of the city and then played his new release, and began asking him why he had recorded a track that mocked politicians for failing to keep their promises:
This morning the kidnappers blindfolded him and let him go in a forest, Mr Daukaka said. Police say the singer was found unconscious and emaciated.
