Ebikeme Clark, second son of Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark was released from kidnappers' den on Saturday night.
Sources close to the family told The Nation that he was abandoned in Ogriagbene, an Ijaw community in Bomadi Local Government Area of Delta State.
From his freedom post Ebikeme was transported to Bomadi town, where he was received by family members and some Ijaw leaders.
The Spokesperson of the Ijaw Youth Council, Mr Eric Omare confirmed the report in a telephone chat with our reporter on Sunday morning.
He said, "Yes, Ebikeme Clark has been released. I spoke with him and I can confirm that no ransom was paid to secure his freedom."
Ebikeme was snatched by gun - wielding youths in Kiagbodo, Burutu Local Government Area of the state on Thursday evening.
His abductors approached the family with a N60m ransom demand to release him.
The development prompted the IYC and former militant leaders in the area to launch manhunt for the kidnappers.
However, the details of how the victim was still sketchy at the time of this report this morning.
