THE son of a gasoline station owner who was kidnapped early this month in Zamboanga del Norte was released on Sunday by his captors, police said.
Michael Kho, 27, was released by his kidnappers at around 6 a.m. along the shoreline of Barangay Labuan in Zambonga City, said Sr. Insp. Joseph Ortega, spokesman of the Zamboanga peninsula police.
Ortega said Kho has bullet wounds in his shins when he was found.
"The victim suffered bullet wounds on both shins, inflicted by his kidnappers when he resisted during the abduction,” Ortega said.
He could not say whether the victim’s family paid a ransom to the kidnappers. Kho’s family went to Barangay Labuan after learning of his release and found him near a Phoenix gasoline station, Ortega said.
Kho was forcibly taken by armed men on April 1 from the family-owned gasoline station at Barangay Poblacion, Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte.
Ortega said three days after the kidnapping, the police arrested Omar Wahab alias Binday after witnesses tagged him as the lookout for the abductors.
