High Chief Sikiru Adeniji, the husband of the abducted woman, confirmed her release to newsmen. He explained that the victim was let off the hook by the kidnappers after an undisclosed ransom was paid.

He added that Seliat was released around 2:00am in a thick forest after the family parted with the agreed sum of money.

“Yes, she has been released after six days. She spent six days with those bandits. They released her around 2:00am today. On the ransom, yes but I don’t want to say anything about the ransom. She is currently at home but we will take her to a hospital soon for a medical check-up.” he said
