The Anglican Bishop of Jebba Diocese, Kwara State, Rt. Rev. Oluwaseun Aderogba, his wife and driver, who were kidnapped by gunmen on Sunday, have been released.
The Oyo State Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, in a statement, said the couple and their driver were released unhurt around 6.20pm on Tuesday.
He said the three victims had been reunited with their families, adding that the hoodlums were pressurised into freeing them because of the heat turned on them by the deployment of the police in the area for search and rescue operations.
Osifeso did not state whether ransom was paid for their release or not.
It will be recalled that the abductors had demanded N50m ransom after the kidnap.
