Nwomeh was, in the evening of July 4, whisked away by a group of young men who trailed him to his residence in the Independence Layout area of Enugu metropolis.
Dan Nwomeh, yesterday, returned to the warm embrace of his family and friends, hale and hearty, after missing for seventeen days. A statement by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, VinMartin Obiora Ilo, said Nwomeh was released by his captors about 9pm on Monday, in Aba, Abia State.
Nwomeh’s abductors reportedly put a call to his immediate family, demanding N100 million ransom before his release.
Before the call, it was uncertain whether Nwomeh was dead or alive in the hands of his abductors, as the mission and objectives of those who whisked him away was not yet established.
