AJIA Hasana Garuba, wife of the late Speaker of Edo State House of Assembly, Zakawanu Garuba, was on Monday released by her abductors.

She was kidnapped along Okene-Abuja Expressway three days ago on her way to Auchi, her husband’s hometown, for his burial.

A source said the kidnappers demanded about N20m but it was not clear how much was paid for her release.

Zakawanu Garuba, a stalwart of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, died in Abuja after a brief illness.
