About one week after they were abducted, the members of the Christ Apostolic Church, Oke Igan, Akure, Ondo State have regained freedom on Thursday evening.

It was gathered that the victims were released after their families paid the sum of N50 million ransom.

The victims were kidnapped at the Elegbeka area in the Ose Local Government Area of the state, while travelling to Ifon, along the Benin-Akure Expressway last Friday.

According to a family source, they were released at the same Elegbeka area where they were kidnapped last week.
