Popular Edo State musician, Osayomore Joseph, who was kidnapped by yet to be identified persons on October 3, shortly after he performed at the one year coronation anniversary of the Oba of Benin, at the palace, has been released.
He was released in the early hours of Thursday in Benin City after spending exactly one month in the kidnappers’ den.
His first son, Osayomore Joseph Jr, who confirmed his release to journalists in Benin, expressed joy adding that the family was making arrangement for a medical examination of the musician.
According to him, “My father has been released but he is not too healthy so he is currently in the hospital taking treatment. It has not been easy for us as a family but we thank God he is back home.
“We are trying to give him the best medical care he deserves. So he is in the hospital now and it is our prayers that everything goes well so he can rejoin his family in good health because we have really suffered all this while, it has been very traumatic for us and not a good situation that you can even pray for your enemy.”
