Two victims kidnapped, a pastor and a lady, kidnapped last Tuesday in Abuja have been released by their abductors.
Recall that a Pastor, identified as Pastor Timothy, an ex-corps member, Adenike and five others were kidnapped last Tuesday when gunmen attacked Kubwa Extension II Relocation Estate, along the Arab Road area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Other five victims reportedly still in the kidnappers’ den are two male children, a woman, and two adult males.
Confirming the development to newsmen on Monday, Chairman of the estate, Suleiman Seidu, said, “Yes, Pastor Timothy and the young lady, Adenike has been released. They were released yesterday.
“I cannot ascertain whether ransom was paid or how much was paid. What I can confirm is that these two persons have been released and are now with their families.
“I also cannot ascertain whether there were other persons still with the bandits. I only know of the two, and they have now been freed.”
The Vice-chairman of the estate, Frank Boboi, said, “We’re happy that Adenike has been released. She was released on Sunday, and has since returned to her family.
“Yes, a ransom was paid, but I can’t disclose the sum, as it is confidential. But we thank God, the community and everyone for their support.”
