Newly inducted Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto (UDUS) radiography graduate, Basheerah Ojedeyi, has regained her freedom weeks after she was abducted on her way home.
Recall that bandits abducted Ojedeyi around 2:00pm on September 29, 2025 along Mashegu local government in Niger State through the Felegu and Ibbi road.
