The Public Relations Officer of ESUT, Mr. Ossy Ugwoti, who confirmed the release of Professor Onyeji in the early hours of yesterday, however, said that he was not aware if any ransom was paid before his release.
He, however, could not give details of how the VC was released but he declared that “our oga was released hale and hearty at about 11 pm Thursday night and has already been reunited with members of his family.”
