Enugu State Police Command said its men have rescued four kidnap victims, including a female from the kidnappers’ camp at Akama-Oghe in Ezeagu Local Government of the state.
The State Police Public Relations Officer, Daniel Ndukwe (DSP), who made the disclosure, said the victims, were kidnapped along 9th-Mile/Eke/Akama-Oghe Road, last Friday, at about 8pm, and were rescued in the forest the following day, being Christmas eve.
Ndukwe noted that their rescue was made possible by the combined efforts of police operatives serving in Iwollo Division, Neighbourhood Watch personnel and Forest Guards.
The police, he further said, recovered a black-coloured Mercedes Benz car belonging to one of the victims, adding that all the victims have been debriefed and reunited with their families.
The Command’s image maker said the state Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Ammani, has already ordered tactical operatives of the command to sustain ongoing manhunt of the kidnapping suspects, who abandoned the victims and escaped due to the intense pressure mounted by the operatives to rescue the victims and apprehend them.
