He said the release was sequel to the aggressive manhunt by the Command and other sister agencies.
Undie said his abductors abandoned him in the forest and fled when they realized that there was no place to hide any longer.
CP Adie warned travelers within this period to strictly adhere to the ban on inter-state movement imposed by the Federal government as a means to curtail the spread of COVID-19.
According to him, the “bad boys” are using the advantage of the empty roads to advance their nefarious acts.
