According to the report, the gunmen invaded his chambers in military fashion, and whisked away the Senior Lawyer to an unknown destination.

But the legal practitioner was released by his abductors after an undisclosed amount of money was paid ransom to secure his release.

The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe who confirmed his release, said he could not say much as the Lawyer had not come to debrief the state police command.

Mr. Edafe however disclosed that the police is already on the trail of the kidnappers.
