The police spokesperson in the state, Ebere Amaraizu, revealed this on Tuesday in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu.

Mr Amaraizu said the abductors bowed to pressure from joint operations of security operatives and released their captive.

“Following his abduction, security operatives had been on the trail until today, Aug. 27,’’ the police spokesperson said.
