The operatives of the Edo State Police Command have rescued a police officer and two other individuals who were kidnapped by gunmen while in transit.

The officer identified as ASP Elisha Jeremiah belongs to the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja.

The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Moses Yamu, revealed on Tuesday that the victims were kidnapped while travelling from Abuja to Anambra State on January 29, 2024.

According to Yamu, the victims were rescued in collaboration with vigilantes and hunters.

He gave the names of the other saved people as Useni Malam Inusa and Oyedele Ebenezer of Ogbidi Road, Uromi.

The command’s statement reads in part: “Following the kidnapping of some travellers on board a Toyota Sienna from Abuja heading to Onitsha in Anambra State, which occurred along the Okhuesan-Ewohimi Road on 29/01/2025 at about 1840 hrs.

“Operatives of Ubiaja Divisional Headquarters, in a joint operation with other tactical teams, immediately went on the trail of the kidnappers.

“The Edo State Commissioner of Police, Betty Enekpen Isokpan Otimenyin, ordered the additional deployment of Police Mobile Force Personnel with instructions to ensure the rescue of the victims and the arrest of the perpetrators.

“The team, acting on intelligence, mobilized to the bushes around Ugbebor today at about 1530 hrs, 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.

“Those rescued include ASP Elisha Jeremiah attached to FCID Abuja, Oyedele Ebenezer of Ogbidi Road, Uromi, and Useni Malam Inusa. The victims are currently receiving treatment and will soon be reunited with their loved ones.”
