Donu Kogbara, a Vanguard columnist who was kidnapped by unknown gunmen in Rivers state has been released.
Speaking to newsmen after her release she said, ''I was dumped in the middle of the creeks, leading to nowhere around 10 pm on Friday. And they forced an innocent fisherman to take me to Borokiri”, she recalled, laughing.
''I am very happy to say that I have been released. I am alive, that is all that matters despite all the things that were lost in the robbery that preceded the abduction. I thank Vanguard Newspaper, my paper, for the love and support that I received from my colleagues and Uncle Sam Amuka, the publisher. He was actually the first person called when I was abducted”, Kogbara said.
On whether or not a ransom was paid for her release, Kogbara said, ''I told them I was not worth what they demanded for ''.
