Bayo Adetu
Mr. Ibu’s wife, Stella-Maris and his one year old son, Emmanuel Mandella Okafor, were released by kidnappers late last night.
Confirming the development to an online new media-pmnews on phone this morning, Mr Ibu expressed his joy over the release of his wife and son, but refused to disclose the ransom he paid.
In his words – “Obviously i’m very happy that my wife and son have been released, but I will not disclose the ransom. However, I want to thank my friends, colleagues and Nigerians in general who stood by me during this trying period,”.
Stella- Maris and Emmanuel were kidnapped in Enugu on Tuesday last week.
Their kidnappers initially demanded for a N50 million ransom, but later slashed it to N6 million when the Nollywood actor pleaded that he cannot afford to pay such amount of money.
Thank God for that,i'm so happy that Ibu's Wife and Son has been released finally.Glory be to the Lord God Almighty who was and is to come
