Monday, December 8, 2025 - After over three months in the kidnappers’ den, a Chinese expatriate abducted by gunmen on September 5, 2025, at BUA Cement Plant, Okpella, has finally regained freedom.
The Chinese expatriate simply identified as Mr Wang, was
abducted when gunmen stormed the BUA cement plant and killed eight personnel of
the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
A statement by the Public Relations Officer of the Edo State
Police Command, Moses Yamu, stated that the expatriate regained freedom on
December 2, 2025, at 11:30 pm at a location in Kabba, Kogi State.
Yamu said the release of the kidnapped victim followed
sustained technical and tactical operations jointly executed by the Edo and
Kogi State Police Commands, with support from vigilante groups and local
hunters.
He said the Command commended all partners involved in the
successful rescue effort.
The Command did not disclose whether ransom was paid for the
release of the expatriate.
It was, however, gathered that the expatriate left Nigeria
immediately after regaining his freedom and has since returned to China.
The Command was, however, silent on the update of efforts to
arrest the suspected kidnappers.
