About 14 travelers who were recently abducted by gunmen at Inele Eteke, in Olalamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State have been freed.

The Kogi State Police Public Relations Officer, SP William Ovye, made this known this evening.

According to Ovye in a statement, he was informed by the DPO that, all the kidnapped victims have regained their freedom.

It would be recalled that armed bandits had on Saturday, February 3, 2024, hijacked two buses belonging to two popular transport companies and whisked away about 14 passengers to an unknown destination.

Abductors of the 14 passengers of the Abuja-bound buses had contacted families of the victims, demanding 15 million naira as ransom.

It is unclear if the ransom was paid before the release of the abductees or not.
