Police rescue kidnapped victim in Delta

Delta State Police Operatives attached to Agbarho Division near Warri rescued a kidnapped victim on Sunday.

It was gathered that the police gave the abductors a hot chase and the hoodlums on noticing the determination of the team, abandoned the vehicle and escaped into a nearby bush.

According to a statement by Delta police spokesman, DSP Bright Edafe: “On 10/10/2022, the DPO Agbarho Division received a distress call that one man (name withheld) was kidnapped at his residence in Warri alongside his highlander SUV(Reg. No. withheld), and that the hoodlums were advancing towards Agbarho, the DPO CSP Samuel Ogwa swiftly mobilized and led operatives who positioned strategically on the road. As they were monitoring the movement of vehicles, they sighted the highlander vehicle as described by the distress caller, but the driver unsurprisingly made a u-turn in a bid to escape.

“They were given a hot chase by the team led by the DPO and the hoodlums on noticing the determination of the team, abandoned the vehicle, and escaped into a nearby bush. The Victim was rescued unhurt and has since been reunited with his family. Efforts are ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects,” the police added.
