The musician who was recuperating in a hospital following his release said he was kidnapped because of his criticism.
“They asked me why I sniff around other people’s affair which clearly shows that my kidnap had to do with my work as a singer.
“I was never physically harmed by my captors but I was quite traumatised by being abducted and held captive.”
Atiku Mustapha who is a relative of Daukaka said he was a political target.
“It is obvious his disappearance is an abduction by some interests who are infuriated by his latest song which exposed corruption among legislators at the state house of assembly.
“We believe they abducted him as a warning to other critics like him. They just want to muzzle critics.”
Hadiza Adamu who is one of the wives of the singer said he had no enemies.
