The victim’s father, Oghojafor, a senior legislative aide to deputy president of the senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, who confirmed the development in a telephone conversation, was full of praised to God while thanking immensely former governor of the state, Dr Uduaghan and Chief Bernard Okumagba, a former commissioner of finance in Delta, whom he said God used to rescued his son from captivity of his abductors.

The journalist disclosed that he has been having sleepless nights for days now over the abduction of his son who was a final year student at the Delta State University Abraka, until the ‘two men with beautiful hearts’ came to his rescue.

Chris was kidnapped on Friday evening by suspected Fulani herdsmen at Abraka.  Oghojafor, had earlier told newsmen that the kidnappers called his wife to demand the N50 million ransom, but later negotiated to N3 million.
