DSP Irene Ugbo, Cross River’s Police Public Relations Officer confirmed the development, stating that Ibrahim was released safely on Saturday night.
Ugbo said; “As we speak, Ibrahim has been released and he is currently receiving treatment. It took the effort of a lot of stakeholders and security agencies that I will not like to mention, but he is receiving treatment now.
