Two school girls who were taken away from their mother at gunpoint by kidnappers in Akure, the Ondo State Capital have regained freedom.
The two pupils whose names were given as Fikayo and Bolu reunited with their mother after the payment of ransom.
The girls were abducted last week at Leo area in Akure around 8pm while their mother was trying to open the gate to their compound after returning from her shop.
The victims, age four and two were dropped at the roadside within Okuta Elerinla axis in Akure, the state capital around 10pm on Tuesday. They were picked from there by an unknown person who took them to a police station before they reunited with their parents.
A family source who confirmed the release of the girls said N5m was paid as ransom to the abductors.
The Precision NG had reported that the Kidnappers demanded N10m ransom before it was reduced to N5m following a series of negotiations.
The spokesperson of the state Police Command, DSP Funmi Odunlami also confirmed their release.
The car of their mother had earlier been recovered on Akure-Ikere Ekiti road few days ago.
