Kidnapped Edo HoS Freed After Ransom Payment, Shot Police Orderly Dies
Anthony Osas Okungbowa, abducted Head of Service in Edo State, has been freed.
BIGPENNGR.COM understands Okungbowa was released by his captors on Monday night, according to a family source who preferred anonymity.
The source said Okungbowa was set free after payment of an undisclosed amount as ransom demanded by his kidnappers and that he was hale and hearty since his release.
The family source disclosed that the ransom was paid through a collaboration between the family and the State Government.
“We just want to thank God that our brother has been set free and in good health condition,” said the source.
The source, however, lamented that the Police orderly attached to the HoS, who was shot during the process of the abduction, died on Monday evening following complications from the gunshot injury he sustained.
It would be recalled that the driver of the HoS was shot by the gunmen before abducting him, as he was returning to Benin after attending a local event in Oza Orhionmwon local government area.
