The acting rector of Benue State Polytechnic Ugbokolo, Dr Emmanuel Barki, who was kidnapped last week, has been freed by his abductors.
Barki was kidnapped along with two other staff members of the institution and a driver on Wednesday by unidentified gunmen while returning to Ugbokolo from an official assignment.
The acting rector was freed from captivity in the late hours of Monday.
Speaking with journalists in Makurdi after he regained freedom, Dr Barki said he regained freedom due to God’s intervention.
He expressed appreciation, particularly to his family, friends and the church, for staying awake with him in prayers for God to intervene.
