Igboho’s Wife, others kidnapped during attack released in Ekiti

The wife of Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho, and others abducted by some gunmen believed to be operatives of the Nigerian Army and the Department of State Security, on Thursday have been released.
The media aide to the Yoruba Nation agitator, Dapo Salami, noted that the victims were released by the gunmen in Ekiti state.

Salami while speaking with SaharaReporters said, “Yes, they have been released. It’s true. They were found in Ekiti.”

One of the victims abducted in the early hours of Thursday disclosed that they were N20,000 to board vehicles to Ibadan.

The victim said, “The DSS (Department of State Services) felt reluctant to release a lady blogger and other six boys while in Ekiti State. The corpses of five people who were allegedly killed by men of the DSS and soldiers have been deposited at a particular mortuary in Ekiti State.”

“After we had alighted, they gave us N20,000 for fare to Ibadan. They did not beat us and they did not maltreat us throughout the journey in the DSS operational vehicles.”
