Following the release of kidnapped four journalists and their driver on Sunday, July 18, 2010, the Nigeria Journalists Wives Foundation (NJWF), has commended the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
NJWF noted that the Police contributed immensely in ensuring that the journalists were released, according to the Foundation's national coordinator, Mrs. Nkemdilim Nweke.
While reacting to the reunion of the kidnapped journalists with their families, Mrs. Nweke said that it is heartwarming and expressed gratitude to God Almighty for making their release a miracle one.
“This is because they were left unhurt, despite spending a week in the forest with their abductors,” she said.
She recalled that on Sunday, July 12, the media in the country were awash with the news that acting Secretary, Lagos council, Mr. Sylva Okereke and three other executive members of the union; namely, chairman, Lagos State council, Mr. Wahab Oba, Secretary of Zone G of the union, Mr. Adolphus Okonkwo, a Lagos-based journalist, Mr. Sola Oyeyipo and their driver, Mr. Azeez Yekini were abducted.
They were unconditionally released on Sunday, July 19, this year and they have since returned to the warm embrace of their families.
