Imo: Kidnapped wedding guests released after two weeks
Two out of three guests at a wedding ceremony in Imo state's Isiala Mbano Local Government Area were released by kidnappers two weeks after their families reported them missing.

Collins Alaefula, Mmadu Promise, and Victor Chibuike are the victims.

It was discovered that the two freed victims apparently paid ransoms before their kidnappers let them go.

Fortune, the brother of one of the victims, informed reporters on Saturday that Promise and another victim were released by their captors on Friday night.

An elated Fortune said,” Yes, my brother and one other have been released. They were released on Friday night. It was actually a case of kidnap not missing persons. I don’t know the name of the other person who was released alongside my brother. I have not seen them but I am on my way to see them.”

The victims who rode in a Lexus 330 gray coloured vehicle were declared missing on August 28 after they left a wedding ceremony in Isiala Mbano LGA to Owerri, their base.

After their whereabouts were not ascertained, their families declared them missing and reportedly reported the situation at the Police station in Owerri.

Their kidnappers were said to had contacted their families few days after and demanded an undisclosed amount of money as the condition for their release.

Our correspondent could not ascertain the reason the third person was not freed.

The police spokesperson, Micheal Abattam, had yet to respond to inquiries concerning the development as of the time of filing this report.
