The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Delta Command, Onome Onovwakpoyeya, a deputy superintendent of police, confirmed this to journalists through a phone conversation on Tuesday in Warri.
“It is true that the abducted chairman has been released by the kidnappers. But we have yet to get the details,” Mr Onovwakpoyeya said.
