The former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, who was kidnapped earlier this week, has regained his freedom, Africa Independent Television (AIT) has reported.
Falae was kidnapped on Monday at his farm in Ondo State by people described as Fulani herdsmen. We earlier reported that the abductors demanded N100 million ransom but the family managed to raise N2million, the abductors rejected it and reduced the ransom to N90m. It was not known at the time of filing this report if any ransom was paid.
But President Muhammadu Buhari earlier yesterday condemned the abduction of Falaeand ordered the security agencies to ensure his safe rescue.
