THE SUN DMD’s wife’s release: We didn’t pay ransom —Husband



Steve Nwosu and his wife, Toyin
The Deputy Managing Director of The SUN Newspaper, Mr Steve Nwosu, whose wife, Toyin ,  was released on Thursday morning after abduction has said 'no ransom was paid.'
Mrs Toyin, a member of staff of the Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area, was released at about 2am Thursday by her abductors. Apparently She was  picked at First gate, Festac Town by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr Fatai Awoseni , alongside members of her family.


Because  she was still in shock she couldnt explain her three days ordeal in her abductors den and why it failed, she was said to be too traumatised to speak.
  Her husband Mr Nwosu expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to her release, explaining that she would be taken to the hospital for doctors to run a full check up on her. Nwosu  however  declared  that he had forgiven those who abducted his wife.
 
His Words:

  “If you have gotten  used to having a wife when you get married and you discover that you cannot do any other thing without your wife,  then you can imagine what not  having her for almost three days will be like.
“We thank those who contributed to getting her freed.  I thank  the government starting from the centre, the Inspector- General of Police  who was personally on the matter,   The Presidency through Mr. Femi Adesina, and  the  Lagos State governor, who called me.
“Our gratitude also goes  to the  state Commissioner of Police,  the Police , the DSS,the Sesan Family, my former Managing Director,  Mr. Orji Uzor Kalu, who  was always on the case and Mr Eric Osagie, who is  not only  a boss but  a brother.  The role he played showed that he is more than a brother. I also thank all kinds of prayer warriors, my readers and  friends.
I have about four hundred prayer text messages on my phone from family and  friends, including old people who you don’t even expect like Segun Osogba.  Femi Akintola, the list is endless.  There are  other people including  the  Bayelsa state governor and the Governor Fayose of Ekiti state who called.
“I’m happy because it is when things like this happen that you know whether  you are well loved or not.  I am happy that my wife is back.  She is not hurt.  She is not ill. But I said  she should get a rest because of the trauma, in order to  get over it.  She should have been the one talking to you but we are grateful to Nigerians.”

Thank God she's back home with her family. I pray she gets over the experience soon.
