Collomp’s abductors were suspected to be members of the Jama’atu Ansarul Muslimina Fi Bilads-Sudan.
He was seized in Rimi town of Katsina State 11 months ago.
The foreigner, an engineer with a French
renewable energy firm, Vergnet company of France, was on a routine
official assignment when he was kidnapped.
Kaduna State Police Commissioner,
Olufemi Adenaike, who presented Collomp to journalists at the police
headquarters on Sunday said, “The man escaped from the kidnappers
yesterday (Saturday) through the bush at Dan Magaji village in Zaria,
Kaduna State. He saw an Okada man (commercial motorcyclists) and told
him to take him to the nearest police station. This is how far I can go
for security reasons.”
The CP, who handed him over to French
embassy officials who came to the command headquarters in Kaduna,
said arrangements had been concluded to fly the man back to France on
Monday (today).
He further explained that the kidnappers
took the French national to Kano where he spent nine months before
taking him back to Zaria where he spent another two months before his
escape yesterday.
