Mr Algarkawi, a resident of Kinkinau area of Kaduna State, was kidnapped on Thursday afternoon.

He was kidnapped at his farm at Nariya, a community along Kaduna eastern bye-pass. Some of his students were also reportedly abducted, although the police did not confirm that.

Musa Aliyu, a student of the cleric, confirmed he had been freed.

”We have been praying since Thursday and thank Allah the sheikh is now freed. He returned to his family at about 6 p.m.”
