The kidnapped Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Abia State College, Prof. Godwin Emezue, has regained his freedom after spending eleven days within the kidnappers' den.
The Abia State Police Command had confirmed that he was kidnapped from a petroleum station in Umuahia, the state capital, over two weeks in the past.
Emezue was reportedly launched by his captors on Tuesday night.
A supply near the professor's household instructed our correspondent that the abductors had earlier demanded a ransom of N35 million.
“The abductors had launched footage of how they tortured the professor and threatened to kill him if the household didn’t pay N20 million by the top of Saturday final week,” the supply added.
The supply mentioned the professor is presently receiving medical consideration at an undisclosed hospital for torture.
