Kpaluku who confirmed Eguma’s release in a chat with reporters said the longest-serving technical manager of the club was released last night.
You will recall that Coach Eguma was abducted on Monday by unknown gunmen around the Enugu axis, southeast Nigeria, on his way to Port Harcourt after a match day 27 encounter in the National Professional Football League, NPFL, against Adamawa United.
He further stated that he spoke with coach Eguma last night and stressed that the coach is expected to reunite with his family today.
On whether ransom was paid to secure Coach Eguma’s release, he said the most important thing is that the manager has been released and he was not privy to any information on ransom being paid.
