He said that the victims' vehicle, loaded with foodstuffs, was found abandoned but recovered with an empty shell of 7.62mm ammunition.
Ajayi said that the intensity of the pressure on the kidnappers during the search-and-rescue efforts led to their abandoning four of the abductees and who had now been rescued and with the police at present.
