Mr. Takai Shamang, former leader of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has been released by gunmen who kidnapped him on Friday, July 5, 2024.
Remember that gunmen stormed his country home in Biniki village, Kaura Local Government, Kaduna State, and abducted the 78-year-old veteran unionist?
According to NAN, one of his daughters, Mrs. Grace Abbin, verified her father’s release in a WhatsApp status update.
“To God Almighty be the glory. My family lacks words to appreciate everyone of you for the safe return of our daddy, comrade Elder Takai A. Shamang,” she wrote.
She did not, however, specify the circumstances surrounding his release or whether a ransom was paid.
He is the President and Founder of the Gantys Aid for Widows, Orphans, and Needy Foundation, also known as Gawon.
Between 1982 and 1989, he served as President General of the National Union of Electricity and Gas Workers, which has since become the National Union of Electricity Employees.
