The rescue was announced on Sunday, November 8, 2026, by the Commissioner of Police, CP Adamu Bakori, during a briefing with Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf at the Government House in Kano.
The development was contained in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Sanusi Bature Dawakin Tofa.
Beli was reportedly abducted by armed men from his residence in Beli community, Rogo Local Government Area, before being moved to several locations across Kano and neighbouring states.
Recounting his experience after regaining freedom, the APC chairman said his abductors moved him through Danja, Ikara and Giwa in Kaduna State, as well as parts of Zamfara State.
CP Bakori attributed the successful rescue to coordinated tactical security operations, assuring residents that the command would intensify efforts to combat kidnapping and other criminal activities across the state.
Reacting to the development, Governor Yusuf commended the police commissioner and officers of the command for their role in securing the politician’s release.
The governor also directed the state Commissioner for Health to ensure that Beli receives comprehensive medical attention and psychosocial rehabilitation, with all expenses to be covered by the state government.
