Patrick Allocco, the concert promoter who was kidnapped and held against his will in Angola after Nas failed to show up for a scheduled show, has finally been freed after weeks of captivity.
According to TMZ, Mr. Allocco was released after 49 days.
His rep told TMZ, "An order was entered today by Angolan authorities lifting the travel ban which prevented [Patrick] and his son from leaving the country for 49 days after [Nas] failed to show for a New Year's Eve concert."
According to the rep, Patrick and his son, also named Patrick, were immediately escorted by U.S. Embassy Officials on a flight to Lisbon. The two men are expected to arrive in Newark, NJ Saturday afternoon. Patrick's rep adds, "We are relieved that this nightmare is over and are looking forward to coming home to our family and friends who have supported us with their prayers and optimism during this ordeal."
