Enyimba midfielder Ekundayo Ojo and Abia Comets’ Benjamin Iluyomade, who was kidnapped on Sunday have regained their freedom.
The footballers were released on Wednesday night following combined efforts of Enyimba Football Club and families of the players.
It would be recalled that the footballers were kidnapped along the Benin-Owo expressway as they journeyed to Akure following the suspension of the Nigeria Professional Football League amid concerns over the global pandemic, Covid-19.
The players have since reunited with their families.
