Gov. Amaechi Abducted Aide Regains Freedom

An aide to Governor Rotimi Amaechi and Deputy Press Secretary, Freddy Ndiagbara, who was abducted on Sunday February 22, 2015, was released last night.

Ndigbara, who was speaking to PM News on phone, did not revealed the details of his ordeal but expressed his gratitude to the press, his constituency and everyone who put pressure on the kidnappers to set him free.

When journalists asked him if he was tortured, the governor’s aid said..

“That is normal…because of the pressure piled up for my release in the media they wondered why I should be telling them that I am just a civil servant attached to Government House”.

“Each time I argued and disagreed with them, I was starved for two days. All the same, I give glory to God for being alive. I thank God for my safety.”

It is still not clear if ransom was paid before Ndiagbara was released.
