Kidnappers of a former governorship aspirant in Plateau state, Kemi Nshe, have released him after spending about 14 days in their custody.
It was learnt that Nshe, a Peoples Democratic Party chieftain was released on Tuesday night together with Monday Hassan,a lecturer with the Plateau State University who is also the chairman of the Academic Staff Union of Universities in the Institution.
The two persons, said to be friends, were abducted at the Nshe’s Shendam residence two weeks ago by gummen who took them away to an unknown destination.
While in their custody,the abductors were said to have rejected the sum of N7m as ransom and demanded more money before they could release the two friends.
However, sources told The PUNCH in Jos that the former Council Chairman and the ASUU chairman had been released by their abductors.
A resident in Shendam, John Alkali, who confirmed their release said he had visited the home of the former Council boss after hearing of his release and discovered the information to be true.
