A Chinese expatriate earlier kidnapped in an attack that claimed the lives of eight personnel of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Edo has regained his freedom. The expatriate, identified as Mr. Wang, was abducted on September 5 during an assault targeting a team of NSCDC operatives assigned to protect Chinese workers at the BUA Cement Plant, Okpella. According to security analyst Zagazola Makama, Mr. Wang was released at about 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 2 in Kabba, Kogi State. Sources said that the expatriate left Nigeria immediately after regaining his freedom and has since returned to China. Details on whether ransom was paid or how negotiations were conducted were not disclosed.
