Police rescue kidnap victim
The Austria-based
Nigerian, Kennedy Chimezie, who was kidnapped on Sunday at Amuzi in
Ahiazu-Mbaise, Imo State, has been rescued by the police.
Speaking to the
press in Owerri yesterday, Mr. Chimezie said it was a horrible
experience that he would not want others to have. He said that his
abductors demanded N5 million ransom for his freedom, but “thanks to
the prompt intervention of the joint patrol team of police and army,
nothing was given to them.”
The Imo State
Deputy Commissioner of Police, Usman Gwary, confirmed that four
suspects have been arrested, including one Chukwuka, who sustained
injuries from gunshots and later died on the way to the hospital.
He said that one FMC rifle, an AK47, 125 rounds of live ammunition
of different calibres and two vehicles were recovered from the
criminals. He called for the cooperation of members of the public for
useful information to help fight crime in the state.
