A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Oyo State, Wale Oriade, who was abducted some weeks ago, on Saturday regained his freedom after 39 days in captivity.
According to the Punch, the Public Relations Officer of the APC in the state, Wale Sadare, confirmed it by telephone from Ibadan, the state capital.
Oriade was kidnapped, on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, around 7:06 pm at his office located at PJ Square Shopping Complex, beside the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited station, Elewure, along Iyana Ajanla, Akala Expressway, New Garage, Ibadan.
Eyewitnesses said the attackers arrived in a blue Micra vehicle with two occupants—a driver and an armed man—who forcibly seized Oriade and whisked him away in the same vehicle.
“The nature of the attack and the precision with which it was carried out have caused deep concern within his community,” the eyewitness said.
Sadare said, “Yes, I can confirm it. He (Oriade) has been released.”
Investigations further revealed that a ransom was paid to the abductors before his release.
As of press time, no official statement has been released by the state Police command.
