Edo-born musical maestro, Ambassador Osayomore Joseph, on Thursday regained freedom after spending 30 days in the hands of his abductors.
He was said to have been released in the early hours of
Thursday in Benin. He was abducted on Oct. 3 shortly after he performed at the
one year coronation anniversary of the Oba of Benin, Oba Ewuare II.
His first son, Osayomore Joseph Jr, who confirmed his
release to journalists, expressed joy with the development. “My father has been
released but he is not too healthy so he is currently in the hospital taking
treatment. “It has not been easy for us as a family but we thank God he is back
home.
“We are trying to give him the best medical care he
deserves. “It has been very traumatic for us and not a good situation that you
can even pray for your enemy. We thank God he is home alive,” he said. Chairman,
Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria, Edo chapter, Mr Willy Eghe-Nova
also confirmed the release of Osayomore.
Eghe-Nova said the association was happy over the release
and congratulated the family and the people of the state, who have been
yearning for his safe return. However, attempt to get the comments of the Edo
Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Nkombe on the release of the musical
icon proved abortive as several calls to his phone were not answered.
