POLICE RECOVER TWO ABDUCTED CHILDREN, FORESTALL ABDUCTION OF 7 MONTHS OLD BABY IN EBONYI

Police in Ebonyi State have recovered two siblings, aged five and ten, who were abducted from their home in Abakaliki at gunpoint.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the State, Mrs. Loveth Oda stated this in an interview with Radio Nigeria in Abakaliki

Mrs. Oda alleged that the kidnappers robbed the mother of the siblings of huge amount of money before taking her children away.

According to the PPRO, the suspected kidnapper later demanded ten million Naira ransom but had to abandon the children in Afikpo South Local Government Area following pressure from police operatives.

Mrs. Oda said the children had been reunited with their parents while efforts were being made to track down the abductors and their collaborators.

Radio Nigeria gathered that three suspects were also in police custody over aborted abduction of a seven months old baby in Abakaliki.
