A retired official of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Benue State, abducted by hoodlums, has regained his freedom.
It was reliably gathered that the retiree regained freedom a day after he was kidnapped in his house by the hoodlums.
The former NDLEA officer was abducted after NDLEA officers arrested a 19-year-old suspected drug dealer, Mngunengen Achir, in Aliade, headquarters of the Gwer East Local Government Area of the State.
The 19-year old suspect was arrested with 5.5 kilogrammes of cannabis and 112 grams of Diazepam on October 6 in Aliade.
The hoodlums demanded for the release of the suspect in exchange for the former NDLEA officer, a request that was jettisoned by the agency.
The former NDLEA officer, however, was later released unconditionally.
According to a source, “The retired officer has been released and the suspect is still in custody.”
