A manhunt was immediately commenced by the police after a large contingent of security operatives stormed the area to rescue the Commissioner.
The operation paid off as the Benue State Police Commissioner, Mr. Wale Abass, Tuesday in Makurdi confirmed his release to newsmen on phone.
Though details of how Mr. Ogbu regained his freedom was not made public, the Police Commissioner disclosed that the abducted Commissioner was released a few hours ago.
