Police, JTF rescue kidnap victim in Anambra
The police command in Anambra and the security Joint Task Force have rescued a kidnap victim in the Ihiala area.
The command’s spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, confirmed the rescue in a statement on Tuesday.
Mr Ikenga said the victim was rescued after operatives busted a criminal den at Umuduru, Ihiala LGA.
He said the feat was achieved following the arrest of a suspect(name withheld) a few weeks ago.
Mr Ikenga noted that the arrested suspect confessed to being a member of a notorious kidnap gang terrorising Ihiala.
He added that the rescued victim, a man in his mid-30s, had been debriefed and released to his family while operations were still ongoing.
Mr Ikenga noted that the ongoing operation in Ihiala involved a combined team of police, military personnel, and Anambra Vigilance Group (AVG) members.
