Yemen national was finally released after almost 10 days in captivity by unidentified men at aroun 12:30 am at the boundary of Talakag, Bukidnon and Tagoloan, Lanao del Sur, authorities reported yesterday.
Armed Forces’ 103rd commanding officer Brig. Gen. Rey C. Ardo said Yemen national Najeb Hameed Al-Odini who was abducted by six unidentified men in Talakag, Lanao del Sur was freed yesterday with the assistance of Lanao del Sur First District Cong. Faysah RPM Dumarpa.
He said the victim was abducted last January 29, 2010 by six men who disguised themselves as police uniforms.
“The abductors asked for a ransom of one million dollars but not a single centavo was paid to them because of the help of Cong. Dumarpa,” he told media practitioners in a press conference here in Pryce Plaza where the Yemen national was presented.
Dumarpa said she immediately made the plea for the release of the Yemen national over the radio stations last January 30.
She said she gave out her cellular phone number on air and was finally contacted by the abductors last Feb. 7 to negotiate for the release of the victim.
“So, we went there and they release him. I did not have any money with me to pay them so I really still believe that these people have hearts,” she said.
Ardo said the Yemen national is a member of a non-government organization Baito as Sarikah Al Kahairy of the United Arab Emirates which is behind the construction of several charitable projects in the Lanao area.
He added that the project funds are channeled through Markazo Sshabab Al-Muslim Filifilibbin which is headed by its president Ameroddin Saranganni.
The yemen national, in arabic, gave thanks to the government and the armed forces as well as to dumarpa for his release.
