Singer Rarara’s mum regains freedom — 3 weeks after abduction

Halima Adamu, the mother of Dauda Kahutu, the famous Hausa singer better known as Rarara, has regained freedom after nearly three weeks in captivity.

On June 28, the singer’s mother was abducted at her residence in Kahutu village of Danja LGA in Katsina. 

But on Wednesday morning, Rarara took to his Instagram page to announce that the bandits had released Halima.

The singer also expressed his gratitude to God for the safe return of his mother.

“ALHAMDULILLAH! ALHAMDULILLAH!! ALHAMDULILLAH!!! By the grace of God we have returned mama. In the peace of mind,” he wrote.

“I am very grateful to my Lord. Thank you my family and friends. I am grateful my fans all over the world

“Surely I don’t have enough thanks to you. May Allah reward you with blessings and may Allah keep our relationship. May Allah reward you thank you thank you thank With care.

The singer, however, did not reveal if a ransom was paid to the kidnappers to secure the release of his mother.

It is also understood that Halima is presently in a hospital in Abuja receiving medical attention.

About three weeks ago, the abductors were said to have silently raided Halima’s village. Residents never heard gunshots during the operation which “took only a few minutes”.

Halima was said to have gently followed the attackers when they struck at her home.

Some reports also claimed that the abductors specifically picked Rarara’s mother while leaving other residents behind.

Born in Katsina, Rarara gained widespread popularity after his performances during the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rallies in Kano — before the 2023 general election.

In March 2023, his house in Kano was invaded by hoodlums and set ablaze.
