A former Secretary to the Enugu State Government Dr. Dan Shere and other victims of kidnapping have regained freedom from their abductors.
Shere and some travellers were kidnapped Thursday morning on their way to Enugu, along the Nsukka/Opi Highway but were reportedly freed on Saturday.
Itโs not certain how much was paid for their freedom but some close allies said their release would not have been possible without heavy ransom.
Their freedom triggered a wave of celebration at the Nsukka Campus of the University of Nigeria (UNN) as some of the victims are students of the school.
The Nsukka highway has in the last month become a kidnappersโ den despite the presence of army and police checkpoints.
