The source, however, did not disclose if a ransom was paid before the release of Justice Mshelia, but a source who previously spoke with our correspondent before the release of the judge by his abductors said negotiations were going over the ransom demanded by the terrorists.

Further confirming the release of Justice Mshelia, the chairman NBA Maiduguri branch, Barr Zanna Hamza said the abducted judge regained freedom Saturday night.
