Gye-Wado, Former Deputy Governor Of Nasarawa State, Freed After N4m Ransom

After the payment of N4m ransom, the former Governor of Nasarawa State, Professor Onje Gye-Wado, who was kidnapped last Thursday night, has been freed.

It would be recalled that the former Deputy Governor was whisked away in his country home, Rinza, near Wamba, the headquarters of Wamba Local Government Area.

Our correspondent gathered that his abductors had placed a ransom of N70m, but the family bargained from N2m to N3.5m and finally negotiated close to N4m before he was released.

A source within the former Deputy Governor's family said, “They collected the ransom near Mada Hills Secondary School in Akwanga with N200 recharge card. 

“Then he was released near Angwan chiyawa close to those hills between Akwanga and Nasarawa Eggon.”
