Maduakolam, who was recently transferred from NAN Abuja to Owerri, narrated that he was ambushed by the hoodlums.
He said that he was kidnapped at Irete, near Owerri, where he had gone with a friend and a house agent to inspect an accommodation.
“After inspecting the house, I agreed with the agent on the part payment and other fees I will pay.
“As I was about to board a commercial motorcycle to go back to Owerri, five young men surfaced from the neighbourhood and took me away,” he said.

He expressed gratitude to God and all those that showed concern over the incident, including the management and the staff members of NAN.
