A rescued teacher in Oyo State, Zacchaeus Olatunde, says he was held in captivity by kidnappers for 56 days before being released. According to his account, the abductors release him and other captives first, and only afterward do security personnel come to escort them home. Olatunde shared the claim in an interview aired by Nigeria Info FM, and the story is also reported alongside a video of the circumstances of his rescue.
The reports describe Olatunde’s ordeal during his time in the custody of the abductors in Oyo State. They focus on his statement about the sequence of events leading to his freedom—release by the kidnappers followed by intervention by soldiers. Both outlets present the same core information: he is a teacher who has been freed after a prolonged captivity, and he attributes the timing of his freedom to the kidnappers releasing captives before soldiers later escort them.
No further details are provided in the available excerpts about the kidnappers’ identity or the exact location of detention and release.
