Ebikeme Clark, son of Ijaw national leader, Chief Edwin Clark, who regained his freedom from kidnappers’ den yesterday said he was released on the order of notorious ex-militant, Tompolo.
The Ijaw leader son reportedly got his freedom from his kidnappers at about 12am on Sunday.
While recounting his ordeal in the hands of his abductor,Clark told the Nation said he had a terrible experience.
“They were ordered by their leader, Chief Tompolo to free me and one Chief Boro Opudu. I was freed 12 mid night today ( Sunday). No ransom was paid. They have people they listen to or they lose their lives. I can’t give you full details now.
“It couldn’t have been pleasant. All I know is that they have people in the community aiding them to keep people. You eat anything you are given and you don’t expect it to be good enough. I was taken to a community somewhere near Bayelsa State”, Ebi said.
Spokesman of Chief Clark, Dickson Bekederemo, also said Ebikeme got his freedom without payment of ransom.
He said he accompanied the Delta Waterways Security to pick the released Ebi where his kidnappers dropped him.
“He was released at about midnight and they gave him N5000 to transport himself out of the community in Bomadi where they dropped him. He was released unconditionally and he is good health”, Bekederemo said.
