Remaining three kidnapped victims at the Iseyin farmers’ settlement in Oyo State have been freed by their abductors after collecting ten million naira.
The victims regained their freedom on Friday afternoon, October 14, 2022 after the money was released to the kidnappers through their approved network to avoid further loss of lives to the incident. This was after one of the farmhands was killed during a gun duel between the kidnappers and security men during the chase to free the captives.
The three victims released were reportedly seen at settlement center upon their arrival before they were taken to the police station.
The Chairman of the Farm Settlement, Mr Rasheed Adepoju, when called by our correspondent, said their members were relieved that the victims were back home alive.
”While we mourn the death of one of the victims that met his untimely death from the hands of the abductors, we want to thank God that the rest are back home and are going to be with their families.
”We shall talk more about this as time goes, this is too shocking,” Adepoju lamented.
