The Police Command in Anambra
State said it has killed two
suspected kidnappers and rescued
a victim.
The Police Public Relations
Officer in the state, Mrs Nkeiru
Nwode, made this disclosure on
Saturday in Awka while
addressing newsmen.
Nwode, an Assistant
Superintendent of Police, said the
victim, simply identified as
Nnamdi, was kidnapped on Oct.
11, in a filling station at Obosi,
near Onitsha, by four armed
hoodlums.
According to her, N20 million
was demanded as ransom but the
detectives attached to Special
Anti-Robbery Squad of the
command trailed them as they
were coming to collect the ransom
on Oct. 13.
“As the hoodlums got to know
that they were being trailed, they
started attacking the police but
two of the kidnappers were killed,
while others escaped with bullet
wounds,” Nwode said.
She said exhibits recovered from
the suspects included one locally
made pistol with two live
cartridges, one cut to size single
barrel gun, one unregistered Q-
link motorcycle and a cell phone.
Nwode assured members of the
public of the relentless efforts of
the police in securing lives and
property in the state.
