After spending two days in kidnappers’ den, the wife of The Sun’s Deputy Managing Director ( DMD ), Steve Nwosu, Toyin, was in the early hours of Thursday freed.
She was abandoned by her abductors at Festac First Gate, Amuwo Odofin, where the police recovered her at about 2:20am.

Confirming her release, the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni said efforts were in top gear to arrest the suspects.
“Yes we rescued her at about 2:20am. The criminals left her at First Gate, Festac, where we were told to go and pick her up.
“No ransom was paid. I want to assure Lagosians that efforts are still on to arrest the suspect and bring them to justice.
“We are appealing for people to not hesitate in providing the police with useful information that will help in containing crime and criminality in the state,” he said.
