POLICE UNCOVER KIDNAPPERS’ HIDEOUT, RESCUE VICTIM
The Anambra State Police Command announced that it has uncovered a kidnapper’s hideout in Umuduru, located in the Ihiala Local Government Area of the state. According to the command, a joint operation involving the police, military, and vigilante groups led to the rescue of a kidnapped victim, who was found unharmed.
This information was revealed in a press statement by the command’s spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, on Tuesday. Ikenga mentioned that the breakthrough came after the arrest of a suspect (name withheld) a few weeks ago, who confessed to being part of a notorious kidnapping gang that has been terrorizing the state, particularly in Ihiala.
The statement read in part, “In an ongoing operation in Ihiala, a combined team of Police, Military and AVG operatives busted a criminal den at Umuduru, Ihiala and rescued a kidnapped victim unhurt.
“The feat is following an arrest of a suspect name (withheld) a few weeks ago and his confession of being a member of a criminal/notorious kidnap gang terrorising the state, especially in Ihiala.
“The rescued victim has been debriefed and released to the family, while operations are still ongoing. Further development shall be communicated, please.”
