A Bayero University, Kano (BUK) student, Shafiu Auwal Ibrahim, who went missing in 2021, has been found alive in Kaduna State after four years.
Shafiu, a resident of the Janbulo area in Kano, disappeared without a trace, triggering a long and emotional search effort by his family, friends, and members of the university community.
According to family sources, he was discovered in a village in Kaduna, where he had been living with an Islamic cleric. The cleric reportedly told relatives that he took Shafiu in after finding him in a mentally unstable state several years ago.
“He was found in a village in Kaduna with a cleric who said he took him in years ago when he appeared mentally unstable,” a family member confirmed.
After years of uncertainty, the family expressed immense gratitude for his safe return. Shafiu has since been reunited with his loved ones and is reported to be in stable condition.
