Workers of the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), who were abducted by gunmen along Benin-Akure expressway, near Oluku in Edo State have been set free by their abductors.
The workers were abandoned by their abductors in the bush after a combined team of policemen, local hunters and vigilante gave them a hot chase.
Spokesman of the State Police, DSP Abiodun Osifo, said there was no shoot-out between the Police and the kidnappers.
He also confirmed that victims were members of top management staff of the NPDC who were on their way for a training workshop.
Osifo said though the victim suffered shock, they were rescued hail and healthy.
He, therefore, cautioned those involved in the kidnapping to leave the state or be ready to meet their end.
