The Ekiti State Police Command has confirmed the release of the abducted Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the State, Mr. Paul Omotosho and two others kidnapped with him.
Recall that Mr. Omotosho was kidnapped last week at the Agbado Ekiti axis after unknown hoodlums shot at the tyre of his car before dragging him and two others into a waiting Hilux van.
In a statement by the Ekiti State Command Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Sunday Abutu on Thursday morning, the regained APC Chairman and others have been reunited with their families.
