In a telephone conversation with journalists, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ramhan Nansel said the the victim was released out of pressure by the combined team of security agents.
He said, the Commissioner was being examined at a private hospital before he would reunite with his family.
Nansel also noted that security surveillance had been intensified in Nasarawa Eggon local government area following increased insecurity in the area.
