Abducted ex-Benue LG chairman regains freedom

Hon Amina Audu, the suspended chairman of Okpokwu Local Government Area of Benue State who was abducted by armed herdsmen, has been freed.

Audu was on her way to Makurdi when she was abducted along with two others by gunmen and taken into the bush on the Makurdi – N’aka road on Monday.

Newspot gathered that she was released on Thursday evening in good health along with others and has since reunited with her family.

Efforts to confirm her release from the spokesperson of the Benue State Police Command, Catherine Anene, were not successful.
