The Delta State Police Command has said a kidnapped pastor and three others have been released from the den of the captors.
The four victims including a lady were kidnapped on Monday in Ogwashi Uku, Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.
The state police public relations officer DSP Onome Onowakpoyeya, who confirmed the release on Wednesday could not confirm whether any ransom was paid to the gunmen before the victims regained freedom.
The abductors suspected to be fulani herders had earlier placed a N10 million ransom on the kidnapped persons.
Onowakpoyeya, however, said, “They have been released. That is all I can tell you. Whether a ransom was paid or not, I don’t know.”
