The wedding guests, identified as Collins Alaefula, Mmadu Promise and Victor Chibuike, who were recently abducted in Imo State have finally regained freedom.
According to PUNCH, two out of the three abducted guests at a wedding ceremony in Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo state, have been released by their abductors, after they were declared missing by their family members two weeks ago.
Our correspondent learnt that two of the released victims reportedly paid ransoms before they were left off the hooks by the criminal elements.
Brother to one of the victims, Fortune, told our correspondent on Saturday that his sibling, Promise and one other were released on Friday night by their abductors.
Fortune, while speaking further said, ”Yes, my brother and one other have been released. They were released on Friday night. It was actually a case of kidnap not missing persons. I don’t know the name of the other person who was released alongside my brother. I have not seen them but I am on my way to see them.”
The victims who rode in a Lexus 330 gray coloured vehicle were declared missing on August 28 after they left a wedding ceremony in Isiala Mbano LGA to Owerri, their base.
After their whereabouts were not ascertained, their families declared them missing and reportedly reported the situation at the Police station in Owerri.
Their kidnappers were said to had contacted their families few days after and demanded an undisclosed amount of money as the condition for their release.
Our correspondent could not ascertain the reason the third person was not freed.
The police spokesperson, Micheal Abattam, had yet to respond to inquiries concerning the development as of the time of filing this report.
