Two Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), officers who were kidnapped in Delta State have regained their freedom.
Some gunmen abducted the officers on Thursday night some distance away from the head office of the agency located off the Isah-Ogwashi-Uku Road, Aniocha South Local Government Area of the state.
NDLEA, Delta State Command spokesperson, Mr John Kennedy, who confirmed the development to the NEW DAILY PRIME on Monday in Asaba, said the officers were released on Sunday night after much pressure from the agency and other sister agencies.
Kennedy said, “I want to confirm the release of our officers, they were released on Sunday night after much pressure from the agency and other sister agencies.
“The senior officer was not abducted along with his orderly as it was reported, the senior officer was abducted and another officer was abducted in another location entirely.”
While applauding other sister agencies for their efforts that resulted in the release of the officers, the NDLEA spokesperson was silent about whether or not ransoms were paid for their freedom.
