The 68-year-old mother of a lawmaker in the Edo State House of Assembly, Abibat Adjoto, who was reportedly abducted by suspected kidnappers, has regained her freedom.
The Edo State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Osifo Abiodun, confirmed this to Punch Newspaper this evening.
The woman, whose son, Kabiru Adjoto, represents Akoko Edo II constituency, was said to have been kidnapped on Thursday at her residence within Ikakumo village, in Akoko Edo Local Government Area of the state.
The police spokesman said Abibat reportedly escaped from the kidnappers den on the same day.
“It was a failed attempt. The woman escaped from them; they did not succeed,” he said.
