A Chinese expatriate who was kidnapped in an attack that claimed the lives of eight personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Edo State has regained his freedom.
The expatriate, identified as Mr. Wang, was abducted on September 5 during an assault targeting NSCDC operatives assigned to protect Chinese workers at the BUA Cement Plant in Okpella.
According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, Mr. Wang was released at about 11:30 p.m. on December 2 in Kabba, Kogi State.
Sources said the expatriate left Nigeria immediately after his release and has since returned to China.
Details on whether ransom was paid or how negotiations were conducted remain undisclosed.
