After spending nearly 3 days in the hands of his abductors, the kidnapped Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress, Delta State, Comrade Goodluck Ofobruku, has been granted freedom to reunite with friends and families.
According to the Secretary of the NLC in the state, Comrade Innocent Ofoyade, who confirmed the development to press, the chairman was released on Monday night.
