The District Head of Bagaji Odo in Omala Local Government Area of Kogi State, Chief David Akpa, who was abducted on Monday, has regained his freedom.

His release was confirmed in a statement issued on Thursday by Gift Idoga, Chief Press Secretary to the Executive Chairman of Omala LGA, Hon. Edibo Mark.

According to the statement, Akpa was rescued through the combined efforts of security agencies, hunters, and vigilante groups, coordinated by the council chairman.

“The District Head of Bagaji Odo, Chief David Akpa, was abducted by kidnappers on September 1, 2025, and whisked into the bush. Since then, the Executive Chairman of Omala LGA swung into action, detailing a joint taskforce made up of hunters, vigilantes, police, and the Nigerian Army. The chairman also personally joined the search on two occasions,” the statement said.

It added that the monarch, who was rescued early Thursday, is currently receiving medical attention at the residence of the council chairman.
