It would be recalled that the monarch was kidnapped on Tuesday along the Okene – Ajaokuta Road while returning to his domain after an engagement in Okene.
The kidnappers had earlier placed a ransom of N30m on him, raising concerns over how the community would raise such huge amount of money. However, the source could not tell whether ransom was paid to secure the release of the traditional ruler from his abductors who had earlier reduced the ransom from N30m to six million naira as of Friday evening.
The Police Public Relations Officer for Kogi Police Command, DSP William Ayah, while confirming the release of the royal father, said he was not aware of any payment of ransom.
