The Auditor-General was shot in the face during the attack. He is currently fighting for his life at an undisclosed hospital and billed to undergo a surgery soon.
A friend to the Auditor-General’s son, who confirmed the latest development to Vanguard, said Zilkifiru escaped from the den in the early hours of Sunday while the kidnappers were asleep.
The Auditor’s friend Iliyasu Suleiman, who was also kidnapped, could not escape with Mohammed because of his old age and the beating he got from the kidnappers, the friend said.
