The former Deputy Governor of Nasarawa State Professor Onje Gye-Wado has been released by his abductors after N4m ransom was paid.
Gye-Wado was abducted last Thursday at his country home, Rinza, near Wamba, the headquarters of the Wamba local government area.
It was gathered that a ransom of N70m was demanded by the abductors but Gye-Wado’s family negotiated from N2m to N3.5m before eventually settling for N4m.
