THE kidnapped Secretary-General of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), Anthony Porole, has regained his freedom after almost one week in the kidnappers’ den.
It was gathered on Thursday in Port Harcourt that Porole was released in the evening of Wednesday (July 3), but it could not be confirmed if ransom was paid, before he regained his freedom.
The secretary-general was kidnapped around 8:30pm on June 28 in his compound at Biara-Ogoni hometown in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State, with the criminals shooting sporadically, before escaping with him to an unknown destination.
