A top security source disclosed to Daily Sun that the incident occurred on Wednesday and ransom of about N10 million was paid the next day before Chuma was released.
The source said the personnel of the Department of State Security Service (DSS) have arrested the kidnappers, with their loot at a hotel in Mararaba, another densely populated area in Nasarawa State not far from Abuja city centre.
