Five victims were recently rescued from kidnapper’s den in Omuma community in Rivers State when detectives from Abia State Police invaded their hide-out.
The Abia State Police Commissioner, Habila Joshak, noted that the kidnappers after abducting their victims in Aba take them to their hide-out in Omuma community until ransoms are paid.
It was learnt that a 20-year-old girl was arrested, who does the cooking for the kidnapped victims. Among those paraded were two suspects, who reportedly killed a man and later kidnapped his sister- in- law in Owerri, whose husband is based in Sweden.
The CP, who refused to disclose the names of the suspects in order not to jeopardize investigations, added that the gang is also involved in bank robbery and breaking of ATM vaults. He urged residents to report suspected persons in their neighbourhood, and assured that the Police have the capacity to respond to distress calls within five minutes in any part of the state.
