Abducted Delta community leader, three others escape from kidnappers’ den

Ekeleme and the three young men were abducted along the Warri-Sapele Expressway by armed men some days ago.

“I never lost hope in our security agencies,” he said

Confirming the development, the Chairman of Sapele Local Government Council, Hon Eugene Inoaghan, commended the police and assured residents of continued efforts to stamp out crimes from the locality.
