Kidnapped Chief Imam of the Uso Community in the Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, Alhaji Ibrahim Oyinlade, has regained freedom from his abductors.
Oyinlade was kidnapped along the Owo-Akure Expressway on Saturday and gained his freedom on Sunday evening, June 18, 2023.
It was gathered that Oyinlade was working on his farm when hoodlums invaded the premises and took him away.
A family member of the victim disclosed that the abductors demanded N10m ransom for his release.
