Prior to this, Gistlover revealed that sources told our correspondent that he and another guy, Adamu Umar, were kidnapped on New Year’s Day at Ningo village along the Andaha-Akwanga Road by gunmen.
While responding to a text if truly a ransom was paid, the PPRO said, “No ransom was paid. The victim and the person the abductors contacted confirmed to us that no dime was paid.
“They were released at about 8.40pm (Tuesday) due to sustained pressure mounted on them by our operatives deployed on their trail.”
