Adigun Agbaje, a former deputy vice-chancellor (academics) of the University of Ibadan, has regained freedom from captivity.
The professor’s release was confirmed by the Oyo state police command on Monday, October 31st, The Cable reported.
Recall that Agbaje was on his way to Ibadan on Friday night, October 28, when the kidnappers blocked his way very close to the Sat Guru Maharaji Garden and kidnapped him.
Since his abduction on Friday, men of the Nigeria Police, Oyo State command and sister-security agencies began rescue efforts.
The Punch reported that the abductors contacted his family and demanded a sum of N50 million as ransom.
Confirming his release, Adewale Osifeso, public relations officer of the police command, said Agbaje is currently undergoing debriefing and that an update will be provided on the matter.
He, however, did not say if a ransom was paid to secure his release.
Osifeso did not also give details about the release of the other kidnapped travellers.
