A 66-year-old widow, Elizabeth Uruakpa, who was kidnapped by armed men in Ilisan Remo area of Ogun State has regained freedom.
DAILY POST had reported that Uruakpa who is the Assistant Chief Nursing Officer with Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Ilisan Remo, was kidnapped last week while returning from church service.
The gunmen were said to have blocked her Honda CRV with their unregistered Red Toyota Camry and zoomed off with her.
Uruakpa, however, was said to have been dropped at the gate of the university on Thursday.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, while confirming her release said she is presently at the hospital receiving treatment.
Odutola said, โOne Elizabeth Uruakpa, a nurse at Babcock UTH, Ilishan, who was abducted, has now been released and is presently in the hospital on treatment. Investigation ongoing.โ

Also the universityโs Director of Communication and Marketing, Joshua Suleiman, confirmed her release, saying: โI have heard about the news. I heard that she was dropped off at the university gate; though, I have not seen her.โ
