At least 17 passengers who were abducted 11 days ago along the Calabar–Oron waterways have regained their freedom.
As of the time of filing this report, it was not yet confirmed whether all 17 passengers had been released.
Sources told Vanguard that the freed victims are currently receiving medical attention at a government-owned facility in Calabar.
