The abducted former chairman of Okpokwu Local Government Area of Benue State, Mrs Amina Audu, has been released by her captors.
The former chairman and her driver regained their freedom on Thursday evening between 7:00 and 8:00 pm.
It will be recalled that the suspended chairman and her driver were abducted on Monday by gunmen suspected to be armed herders along the Naka-Makurdi road.
Speaking to our correspondent on Friday, Mrs Audu said they were fed with pawpaw and gari.
According to her, “You know how harrowing it is to be with kidnappers; I cannot even say much now. The only thing I can say is that they (kidnappers) don’t have food in the bush; they only gave us pawpaw and garri to drink.
Mrs Audu said she didn’t have knowledge of the ransom paid by her negotiators.
“I cannot say because I have not discussed that with those who negotiated our release,” she said.
Naka/Makurdi road has become notorious for kidnapping; hardly will a day pass without a report of the abduction of people.
