Abducted Benue Ex-LG Boss Regains Freedom
The abducted former Chairman of Okpokwu Local Government Area of Benue State, Mrs Amina Audu, has been released by her captors.
The suspended chairman and her driver were abducted on Monday by gunmen suspected to be armed herders along the Naka-Makurdi road.
Narrating her experience, Mrs Audu said, “You know how harrowing it is to be with kidnappers, I cannot even say much now. They (kidnappers) don’t have food in the bush, they only gave us pawpaw and garri to drink.”
Mrs Audu, however, declined to reveal the actual amount the kidnappers collected as ransom.
“I cannot say how much because I have not discussed that with those who negotiated our release,” she said.
