The kidnapped Caretaker Chairman, Iganna Local Council Development Area of Oyo State Mr. Jacob Adeleke and his driver have regained their freedom.
Recall that the two hostages were reportedly kidnapped by some unknown gunmen on their way to Ibadan about a week ago.
The police, in collaboration with the men of the Vigilante Group of Nigeria in the zone, had been searching for them in the forests in search for the abducted men.
An impeccable source broke the news of their release on Friday night.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Oyo State Command, Olugbenga Fadeyi, also confirmed that, “The chairman has regained his freedom and reunited with his family.”
The abducted council boss, who was on his way for a meeting with Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde last Monday was kidnapped alongside his driver along the Okeho-Ado Awaye Road on Sunday.
The abductors were said to have demanded 200 million Naira ransom from the families of the victims.
