The abductors later demanded the sum of N500 million as ransom before Mato would be freed.
Ibrahim Ali, commander of Operation Safe Haven (OPSH), said some persons suspected to be connected to the abduction have been apprehended.
It is not clear if the ransom was paid to secure the release of the traditional leader.
