Abductors of the former Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Alhaji Sani Toro, former Assistant Coach of the Nigeria Super Eagles, Garba Yila, and one of their friends, Alhaji Isa Jah, have set them free.
On Saturday, Toro, Yila and their friend were kidnapped at a village around Akwanga in Nasarawa State.
They were on their way from the wedding of the son of a former NFF President, Aminu Maigari, when they were kidnapped at about 7.30pm.
The kidnappers had, on Sunday, contacted their host, Maigari, demanding the sum of N150 million for their release.
On Tuesday, at about 5am, they were released after spending over 60 hours in captivity.
It could, however, not be confirmed if any ransom was paid before their release or not.
Police in Bauchi also confirmed their release.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, a Superintendent of Police said, “They were released this morning.”
But he declined further comments, saying, “That’s all I can confirm to you.”
