Shehu Sani, a Kaduna politician, has called on religious leaders to intervene after a man allegedly divorced his wife after she was released from the kidnappers’ den.
According to the former lawmaker, the man from Zaria, Kaduna State, was unable to continue with the union because she was suspected of being raped by the criminals.
Bandits have been on the rampage in the states of the country’s northwestern region, kidnapping, killing, maiming, and raping women.
