A 300-level student of Lagos State University, Kehinde Olowa, has been released to his family by his abductors on Monday. The PUNCH had reported that Kehinde was abducted by unknown gunmen on April 9 at the Benin-Ore Expressway, as he returned to Lagos from Warri. Opeoluwa, a close friend of Kehinde, confirmed to The PUNCH on Wednesday that Kehinde has been released. “Yes, he has been released and is currently undergoing treatment,” she said. Although the abductors had initially asked for a N10 million ransom, Opeoluwa noted that the kidnappers had agreed to cut it down to N5 million.
