Abducted Taraba council chairman regains freedom
The abducted caretaker committee chairman of the Takum local government council of Taraba State, Boyi Manja, has regained his freedom.
The council boss, who had been held hostage since last Sunday, was confirmed to have regained his freedom on Thursday night.
It is, however, unclear if a ransom was paid.
The chairman, who was kidnapped along Wukari/Takum road last Sunday, could not be reached at the time of filing this report.
Confirming his release, the leader of the Local Government Legislative Council, Pius Bulus Gauva, said, โwe are glad that our principal has finally regained his freedom.โ
The leader, who was full of praise to God, the state government and security operatives, could not tell whether or not a ransom was paid.
Stressing that he does not know the details of his release, he said, โAll I can tell you is that no telephone calls were made to us by the kidnappers throughout the period they held him hostage. So it will be difficult to know the details of his release now.โ
