An Edo State man, Segirus Were, who was abducted alongside his pregnant wife, Zainab, has regained his freedom after spending about 60 days in the custody of kidnappers.
Were was released by his captors on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, according to reports. A video currently circulating on social media shows him surrounded by individuals believed to be his relatives and friends, appearing relieved and in high spirits despite the traumatic experience.
In the footage, the victim drew attention to his appearance, saying:
“This my dress is white jalabia, is white colour, but it has turned black,”
an apparent reference to the harsh and unhygienic conditions he endured while in captivity.
