The SAN was released yesterday, two weeks after he was kidnapped by gunmen near the Obiri-Ikwerre interchange in the state’s Obio/Akpor Local Government Area and taken to an unknown location.
During the operation, the kidnappers killed two aides to the SAN, while three police officers connected to him were hospitalized due to injuries incurred in the attack.
According to a source, word of the legal luminary’s release came in yesterday and caused excitement in Rumualogu.
At the time of publication, it was unclear whether the former NBA player’s release was subject to a ransom payment.
When questioned, state police indicated they were unaware of the discharge because it had not been reported to any police station.
