Abia Comets player Benjamin Iluyomade was also released.
Enyimba said their “combined efforts” and that of the players’ families caused the release, but did not disclose whether or not a ransom was paid before the players were released.
The players were abducted Sunday around Ipele Town on the Benin-Akure Expressway on their way to Akure.
The kidnappers initially asked for a ransom of 100 million Naira before they demanded for 20 million Naira.
