Mrs. Onyia was released from captivity by her abductors. Although it was not clear if a ransom was paid by the family, her husband allegedly informed some of her NTA colleagues that the woman had been set free.
Although the development was not yet confirmed by the police, Mrs. Onyia’s colleague, who spoke with TheNation, confirmed it. “She said: “On Sunday, at 12 noon, she was set free. We are glad she was released from prison unhurt. Remember that the gunmen along the railway crossing in Woji Community of Obio-Akpor local government area of the state picked her up on her way home at about 8 pm on Tuesday after the NTA 7pm newscast.
When the hoodlums blocked her vehicle in the Woji area of Port Harcourt, isolated her and zoomed off, Onyia was said to be transporting some of her colleagues in her private car to their destinations at about 6.30 pm. Sources said the hoodlums fired many gunshots into the air, forcing people to run in different directions before their victim was seized.
