The Nasarawa State Police Command however, remained mute after his release by his abductors as the police public relations officer (PPRO) DSP Ramhan Nansel did not respond to call.

A family member who pleaded anonymity confirmed that the army has since taken over the bushy feeder road through which on daily basis kidnappers are lying siege on villagers who are mostly palm wine tappers and producers of black soap.
