Rogers’ colleagues also confirmed his release to the press, noting that he regained his freedom on Friday 12 April 2024 night.
Rogers was abducted at about 9 pm on Thursday 11th April 2024, after filing a report from an assignment he earlier attended in the state’s government house.
Rogers was driving an official Channels Television branded car when the hoodlums accosted, pointed a gun at him and took him away in the same vehicle.
The International Press Centre for the Safety and Protection of Journalists while calling for Rogers’ release on Friday, said, “The spate of insecurity in the country should be of serious concern to all adding that it is very disturbing that journalists and media practitioners have also become easy targets.”
