She said that her husband was released with two other boys who were abducted with him.
Nnodim expressed;
My husband came back home around midnight but he is still sleeping. I am happy he is alive. I thank God for what He has done for me. He did not allow the enemy to laugh at me. I am grateful to God almighty for this miracle.
She thanked everyone who had contributed in ensuring the release of her husband for their efforts and prayed God to reward them.
Nnodim and the two others spent three days with the kidnapers, who abducted them in their houses after firing gun shots and forcing their way into their apartments.
The gunmen took the men away after demanding cash, which was not made available to them.
Although kidnappers reportedly demanded a ransom of N10 million, it was however yet unknown if the ransom was paid to facilitate their release.
