Finally, Olubunmi Oke, a female journalist working with the
Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Akure, has been released
by her abductors. Oke reportedly was freed late on Saturday after her
husband took the ransom money to the kidnappers.
Mrs. Oke , a nursing mother, was kidnapped on Thursday on her
way back from work as she drove into her residence. Her baby and
house help who were in the car with her were asked by the gunmen
to disembark from the car before they drove away in her car to an
unknown destination.
Oke’s car was later found in another part of Akure, the Ondo State capital.
The kidnappers initially demanded for N16 million, then reduced the ransom
to N8 million and then N1 million.
