Commissioner for Education in Ondo State,
Madam Funke Olatubora, who was abducted
last Sunday by some gunmen, has regained
her freedom.
It was gathered that the octogenarian was
released by her captors in the early hour
of yesterday at Owena River in Iyansan in Irele
local Government Area of the state.
Confirming the development, the police
spokesman, Mr. Wole Ogodo, said the kidnappers'
den was tracked with the high technology gadgets.
He said the kidnappers released the victim and
abandoned their hideout when they noticed that
security agents were after them.
Ogodo assured that security agents would still
arrest the kidnappers for prosecution despite the
fact that they had released their victim.
He, however, confirmed that no ransom was paid
for the freedom of the woman, adding that the
hoodlums released her when they perceived danger.
Madam Olatubora was, last Sunday morning,
kidnapped by about six gunmen at her Iyansan
country home in the coastal area of Irele Local
Government Area of Ondo State.
The abductors were said to have demanded N50
million ransom from the old woman' family to
secure her freedom.
