A journalist with PUNCH Newspapers, Okechukwu Nnodim, and two other persons abducted on February 3 at their houses in Kubwa, Abuja have regained freedom.
The journalist’s wife, Oluchi Nnodim, confirmed the release of her husband on Sunday
She said her husband and two other boys who were abducted with him were released at midnight on Saturday.
“My husband came back home around midnight but he is still sleeping. I am happy he is alive. I thank God for what He has done for me. He did not allow the enemy to laugh at me. I am grateful to God almighty for this miracle,” she said.
Nnodim and the two others spent three days with the kidnapers, who abducted them in their houses after firing gun shots and forcing their way into their apartments.
The gunmen took Nnodim and the others away after demanding cash, which was not readily made available to them.
The kidnappers reportedly demanded a ransom of N10 million for the release of Nnodim.
