Kidnapped father of Delta State Secretary to government (SSG), Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa breathed the air of freedom yesterday when his abductors set him free at about 10:30pm and allowed him to go home six days after his abduction.
A family source who asked not to be identified told THISDAY that Pa Arthur Okowa was sighted at Agbor- Ewuru road, in Ika South Local government area walking along the road where his abductors had apparently dropped him off.
As at press time, it was not certain whether the $6million ransom allegedly demanded by the abductors was paid. The 75 year old Pa Okowa was abducted from his country home at number 2 Amokwu street, off Efeizomor way, at Boji Boji Owa Township last Sunday shortly after he returned from the church.
Although details of his release was sketchy, but family sources said Pa Okowa is in good health and high spirits. The State Police commissioner of police Mr Jacob Oshiomogho when contacted for confirmation said ?I am in Abuja right now, I cannot confirm it because I have not been informed , I will get information from the office.?
