Emmanuel Adeniyi, an assistant commissioner of police in Zamfara state, who was kidnapped last Wednesday, has been released.

A source at the police headquarters in Abuja confirmed this to TheCable on Sunday. He said the police officer and members of his family were released owing to pressure from the force.

The kidnap happened on Wednesday when the police officer serving in Gusau, Zamfara state capital, was travelling to Kaduna state.

Adeniyi’s Hi-lux van ran into the gunmen who ordered he and his family members into another vehicle and whisked them away.
