The kidnapped Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the Abia State University, Prof Godwin Emezue, has regained his freedom after 11 days in captivity.
The Professor was kidnapped by gunmen in a filling station in Umuahia, the state capital.
The DVC was released on Tuesday night, February 6 after ransom payment and is currently receiving medical attention due to torture in an undisclosed hospital.
A source close to the family said that the kidnappers demanded the sum of N35 million but later reduced it to N20m.
The kidnappers had released a video of how they tortured the professor and threatened to kill him if the family failed to pay the ransom before the end of last Saturday.
