EKO HOT BLOG reports that Hassan Shamidozhi, the traditional ruler of Bukpe community in Kwali Area Council, Abuja has regained freedom after spending 18 days in captivity.
Recall that the paramount ruler’s palace was invaded by kidnappers in Bukpe community and he was taken away alongside two residents of the community.
The other two residents, identified as Ahmad Joel and his daughter, Precious Joel also regained freedom from their abductors around 6:12pm on Saturday.
They were said to have paid N2.5 million as ransom before regaining their freedom.
Hassan Shamidozhi explained that his abductors released him, the man and his daughter after leading them to a forest near Zokutu village, where they trekked for hours before appearing along Abaji-Toto road, where they boarded a vehicle home.
He said before his release, his family members, relatives and friends contributed to raise N4 million after intense negotiations.
All efforts to get the reaction of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Josephine Adeh were futile.
