    Operatives of Edo State Police Command have rescued an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and two others from kidnappers.

    Those rescued include:  Elisha Jeremiah an ASP attached to FCID Abuja, Oyedele Ebenezer of Ogbidi Road, Uromi and Useni Malam Inusa.

    The victims who were traveling from Abuja to Onitsha, Anambra State, on Wednesday, January 29, in a Toyota Sienna Bus, were kidnapped at Okhuesan-Ewohimi Road, at about 6.40 pm.

    A statement by the Command’s Spokesman, Moses Yamu, disclosed that operatives of Ubiaja Divisional Headquarters in a joint operation with other tactical teams immediately went on the trail of the kidnappers.

    The statement added that additional Police Mobile Force Personnel were later deployed by the State Commissioner of Police, Betty Enekpen Otimenyin, to ensure the rescue of the victims and arrest the perpetrators.

    “The team, acting on intelligence today at about 1530hrs, mobilised to the bushes around Ugbebor, in partnership with local hunters and vigilantes.

    “This effort paid off, as the kidnappers abandoned their victims and fled when they sensed that the operatives were closing in on them.

    “Victims are currently receiving treatment and would soon be reunited with their loved ones,” the statement said.
