After spending two weeks in captivity, the Headmaster of Kingdom Heritage School, Egbe, in Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi State, Abiodun Adeyemi, and two others abducted, have regained their freedom.
The three victims were abducted while on their way to a burial ceremony at Kabba, but regained freedom on Sunday night.
They were released after the payment of 1.5 million Naira ransom to the abductors.
A family source disclosed that the headmaster, who sustained body bruises as a result of the torture he received from the kidnappers, came home around 8 pm and was taken to the hospital for medical treatment.
The female victim was, however, taken to a hospital in Ilorin.
The spokesman, Kogi State Police Command, William Aya, confirmed the release on Tuesday, saying that the victims have been reunited with their families.
In other abductions, elder statesman Isah Ozi-Salami is still with his abductors who have demanded 120 million Naira.
There is no news about the whereabouts of the Lokoja Diocesan Catholic Priest, Rev. Father Christopher Onotu, who was kidnapped by gunmen last Saturday night, from his Church in Obangede, Okehi Local Government Area of Kogi State.
Four months running now, the mother of the Chief of Staff to Kogi State Governor, Abdulkareen Asuku is yet to be released.
