A school teacher named Sunday Adebayo has been freed from some men of the underworld hours after being abducted and whisked away to an unknown destination.
Adebayo, aged 52, is resident in Iseyin Local Government Area of Oyo State.
The school teacher, who doubles as supervisor with the West Africa Examination Council, was said to have been waylaid on his way to school in Iseyin recently.
The Oninayin of Inayin in Iwajowa Local Government, Oba Ayansiji Peter, was quoted as saying that the man had been released by his captors on Saturday morning.
His abductors were said to have initially demanded for N100 million ransom.
The traditional ruler reportedly said that “The kidnappers initially demanded for N100 million. They later reduced it to N15 million. As at last night, we were begging them for N2 million but they said no.
“I received a call this morning from one of his family members that he had been released, so I don’t know how much the family eventually paid.”
