Tahav Argezua, a close associate of the former aide, said the women were liberated on Tuesday following the payment of an undisclosed ransom to their captors. They initially demanded N100 million.
“The captives spent four harrowing days in captivity before their release.
“They have reunited with some of their family members and taken to hospital for immediate medical attention,” Argezua said.

The women were abducted last Friday at about 6 pm when they were on the farm alongside the former aide, Terwase Orbunde.
The abductors abandoned Orbunde after he was shot in the right arm, then whisked away his wife and cook.
Argezua stated that Mrs Orbunde appreciated God for their deliverance, just as she said they walked long distances in the bush without food or water.
“Her husband, who is receiving treatment in hospital for gunshot wounds, thanked God and all those who stood with the family through prayers and financial contributions that have secured the release,” Argezua said
