Narrating how his freedom came about, Ebi said in Warri on Sunday that it took the intervention of ex-militant leader, Tompolo and one Chief Boro Opudu, for the kidnappers to release him.
He said his experience while he was kept a hostage was not pleasant, adding that he was kept in a community near Bayelsa state.
“They were ordered by their leader, Chief Tompolo to free me and one Chief Boro Opudu. I was freed 12 mid night today ( Sunday). No ransom was paid. They have people they listen to or they lose their lives. I can’t give you full details now.
“It couldn’t have been pleasant. All I know is that they have people in the community aiding them to keep people. You eat anything you are given and you don’t expect it to be good enough. I was taken to a community somewhere near Bayelsa State”, Ebi said.
Spokesman of Chief Clark, Dickson Bekederemo, also said Ebikeme got his freedom without payment of ransom.
He said he accompanied the Delta Waterways Security to pick the released Ebi where his kidnappers dropped him.
“He was released at about midnight and they gave him N5000 to transport himself out of the community in Bomadi where they dropped him. He was released unconditionally and he is good health”, Bekederemo said
