About five days after he was abducted, the caretaker chairman of Iganna Local Council Development Area of Oyo State, Mr Olayiwola Adeleke, has regained freedom.
Adeleke was freed with his driver who was also kidnapped on Sunday night.
The council boss was reportedly travelling along the Okeho-Ado Awaye road on his way to Ibadan for a meeting with the Oyo State Governor, Mr Seyi Makinde, when the gunmen abducted him.
The Police Public Relations Officer in Oyo State, Mr Olugbenga Fadeyi, on Saturday morning confirmed the council boss and the driver had been released by their abductors.
“They have been released and they have reunited with their families. They were freed on Friday night,” he said.
