Two victims of kidnap in Kogi State, Ms. Muhammed Sharifa and her mother have been released by their abductors.
The victims regained their freedom after a ransom was paid by the family members, our correspondent learnt.
ebirareporters.com had reported that the victims were on their way to the neighbouring Edo state when their vehicle was attacked and they were whisked away by the gunmen.
The kidnappers, according to a family member of the victims, Aisha Loveth Momoh, had demanded for a sum of N 20M ransom.
