Chinese Expatriate Kidnapped in Edo Regains Freedom After Three Months

A Chinese expatriate identified as Mr. Wang was abducted by gunmen at the BUA Cement (NGX: BUACEMENT) plant in Okpella, Edo State, and was held captive for over three months. The victim was rescued in Kabba, Kogi State, following a joint operation by the Edo and Kogi State Police Commands, NSCDC, and local vigilante groups.

The authorities did not disclose if a ransom was paid for his release. Mr. Wang has since left Nigeria and returned to China.
