As at the time of filling this report, it was, however, not clear if ransom was paid for their release.

Recall that eight victims, including the driver of the bus, were earlier rescued on the same day of the incident, while the police command said efforts were still underway to rescue the remaining four victims and possible arrest of the perpetrators.

The statement, however, did not state the fate of the remaining two kidnapped persons.

LEADERSHIP reports that Barrister Peace Onyesome was one of the lawyers newly called to Bar in Abuja last week.
