Aba lawyer kidnapped

An Aba-based lawyer, O. O. Anya, who was reportedly kidnapped by gunmen at Abayi, Aba last weekend, has regained his freedom.

A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the victim had reunited with his family, though it could not be ascertained, at press time, if ransom was paid to secure his release.

The lawyer is an associate of an Assembly member-elect of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), representing  Aba South House of Assembly member-elect, Osy Prestige.
