Twins of popular Oyo Islamic cleric, Alhaji Taofeek Akewugbagold have been released barely 8 days after they were abducted.
This is coming days after the abductors demanded for £100,000 which is equivalent to N55 million for the release of the children.
The twins, a boy and a girl who are children of Sheikh Taofeeq Akewugbagold were kidnapped by gunmen in Ibadan, the state capital of Oyo state about a week ago.
According to Akewugbagold, the twins were released to their father beside a bush this morning around 5:30am.
He revealed the release of the twins via his Facebook account.
It was not clear how much he paid as ransom.
