The kidnapped Chairman of Akwanga Local Government Council in Nasarawa State, Safiyanu Isah Andaha, has regained freedom.
He was released alongside his friend, Adamu Custom and two others who were kidnapped along Akwanga-Andaha road on Monday night, after paying 10 million naira as ransom.
A source who begged for anonymity disclosed that they were freed by the abductors behind an obsolete filling station on Bayan Dutse road, an outskirt of Andaha town.
“They were released around 9pm behind Maigwona filling station at Bayan dutse road and the sum of 10 million naira was paid as ransom” he said.
The source further said he overheard the chairman telling someone that the kidnappers were Fulani, ‘small small boys’ turning them around bush parts.
It was learnt that immediately they regain freedom, they were taken to Adamu Custom’s personal residence in Andaha and later escorted by a heavy security to FMC Keffi.
