They have reunited with some of their family members and taken to hospital for immediate medical attention.
The gunmen on Friday, April 12, attacked Hon Orbunde, and abducted his wife and house help after inspecting a farm.
The former Chief of Staff escaped with a gunshot on his right arm while the attackers whisked away his wife and cook.
Mrs Orbunde confirmed their release to newsmen on Tuesday. She thanked God for their deliverance and said they walked long distances in the bush without food and water.
Her husband, who is receiving treatment in hospital for gunshot wounds, thanked God and all those who stood with the family in prayers and financial contributions to secure their release.
