The
Nigeria Police Force of Rivers State Command, has revealed via their
Facebook page that their gallant operatives have nabbed a 6-gang of
armed men including two soldiers for alleged kidnap.
The Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the Rivers State Police Command
received a complaint about the kidnap of one Sir Chief Samuel Iheanachor
along Aba-Oyibgo Road on October 10, 2016. He was abducted by six armed
men while he was driving his Toyota Highlander and taken to an unknown
destination.
The Commissioner of Police, CP. Francis M. Odesanya, instructed a
discreet investigation into the matter. The jeep was tracked along Aba
Road. It was driven by Lance Corporal Abdul Yusuf ‘m’ of the 2nd Brigade

On interrogation, they confessed to the crime and led the
operatives to Asarama in Andoni Local Government Area where the victim
was rescued unjurt and unconditionally on October 15, 206. No ransom was
paid. Three others members of the kidnap gang were equally arrested.
The victim has been debriefed and reunited with his family. Further
investigation is ongoing at the Anti-kidnapping Unit and the suspects
will soon be charged to court.
