A staff of Ado Local Government in Ekiti State, Mrs Funmilola Osalusi, who was kidnapped last Saturday, has been freed by her abductors after spending five days in captivity.
Mrs Osalusi, who is the widow of the late Surveyor-General of Ekiti State, Mr Felix Osalusi, was abducted in her house behind Immigration Service, Federal Polytechnic Road, Ado-Ekiti around 8.30pm last Saturday.
Confirming her release to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti on Friday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti Command, ASP Sunday Abutu, said the woman was released Thursday night.
Abutu said she has reunited with her family following efforts made by the combined forces of the Police, Amotekun Corps, local hunters and Vigillante Group of Nigeria in trailing the criminal elements to their hideouts.
