They left Abuja at about 5.00pm on Saturday after attending the wedding of the son of a former NFF President, Aminu Maigari, and were kidnapped at about 7.30pm.

A family source on Sunday said that the kidnappers had contacted their host, Maigari, and demanded the sum of N150 million before releasing them.

However, they were said to have regained freedom at about 5.00am on Tuesday. This is after spending over 60 hours in captivity.

It was unclear as of the time of filing this report if any ransom was paid before their release or not.

A family source confirmed their release simply saying, “Yes, it’s true. They were released this morning after the morning prayers at about 5.00 am. And they are all in good health condition.”

The Bauchi State Police Command also confirmed their release.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Ahmed Wakil, a Superintendent of Police said, “They were released this morning.”

When asked to give further details, he simply said, “That’s all I can confirm to you.”
