Matthew-Aboh
Benue Commissioner for Information, Culture, and Tourism, Hon. Matthew Abo, who was abducted by gunmen in his hometown in Ukum Local Government Area of Benue State has regained his freedom.
His release from captivity was confirmed in a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Tersoo Kula .
Mr. Abo has since reunited with his family in Sankera, Ukum Local Government where he was abducted.
According to the statement: “No ransom or any other monetary exchanges were involved in securing his release.
“Rather, his release was a result of intense pressure on the criminals from the gallant security operatives who were acting on the directives of Gov. Hyacinth Alia, who had earlier given marching orders to them to ensure Mr. Abo’s release.
“However, the criminals are still in the custody of the former Chairman, Ukum LGA, Mr. Washima Erukaa, and his cousin who it was learned discreetly went to negotiate with the kidnappers and was also kidnapped.
“His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, who has welcomed back the Commissioner, has warned criminals operating within the State to leave for good, insisting that they will not be tolerated in any form.”
Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, SP Sewuese Anene has also confirmed the release of the commissioner.
