Their release were secured by the former Secretary General of the Ijaw Youth Council IYC, Udengs Eradiri and other members of the IYC. Leader of the crew members on board the Ship in which they were kidnapped, Mujtaba Ghlum Muhammad, said the gunmen numbering about five came in one speed boat along the Akassa River of Bayelsa State and forcefully whisked the Pakistanis away after disposing them of their valuables.
“I heard sometimes they kidnap people from the ship. Before, they were coming to steal the things, take the money, the electronics and other things like that, but this time, they came in only one speed boat and asked us to enter and took us away, today 5th of June made us 12 days in the bush,” Muhammad said.
Eradiri, a former secretary general of the Ijaw Youth Council IYC, who facilitated the release of the expatriates said no ransom was paid. According to him, the Pakistanis would be handed over to their embassy immediately.
