Eight persons who were kidnapped in Lagos last week have regained freedom.
The victims said to be employees of MRS Oil Nigeria Plc were abducted last Monday while on a private boat from Lagos Island to Lekki.
They were released last night at the Sangotedo area of the state.
Spokesman for the Lagos Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, in a short statement, confirmed the release of the oil workers today.
It is however unclear if ransom was paid for their freedom.
