The two registration officers of the All Progressives Congress(APC) who were kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Ebonyi state last Sunday have regained their freedom.
Mr Donatus Omenyi while Speaking to news men after their release, said that gunmen numbering about six came to his house around 2am fully armed and ordered him out of his house and took him away in a vehicle suspected to belong to the Ezza North Local government area.
According to him,he was ordered to follow them and threatened to shoot if he attempted to raise alarm or resist following them. They requested that he give them all APC registration materials in his possession. He was also asked to surrender the camera being used for the party registration exercise as well as the camera,which happened to be with his assistant, Mr Samuel Aligwe who escaped before the gunmen could get to his house.
After been beaten and tortured,they were asked to call their relatives to pay the ransom of N3million before they could be released.
They were however released after been threatened to be eliminated if they remain APC members ,that PDP must be allowed to take over the Ezza North council area and that every presence of the APC in the council area must be laid to rest.
