The police command in Ebonyi has foiled a kidnapping attempt at Mile 50 Layout, Abakaliki, the state capital.
The spokesperson for the command, Joshua Ukandu, told reporters on Monday that officers also recovered the vehicle of the victim, Nneka Onyibe.
Mr Ukandu said the command received the report of a kidnapping incident near Mile 50 Layout, Abakaliki, at about 8:30 p.m. on March 30.
“Operatives were immediately dispatched to track the kidnappers. They pursued an ash-coloured Toyota Corolla with registration number SKA 828 AA, which the suspect used, to Tina Nweze Street in the area.
“Under pressure from the operatives, the kidnappers abandoned the victim, the Toyota Corolla, and a Toyota Sienna belonging to the victim.
“The police successfully recovered both vehicles, which are now at the command headquarters for identification by their rightful owners,” Mr Ukandu said.
He added that the commissioner of police, Adaku Uche-Anya, reaffirmed the command’s commitment to protecting lives and property.
“The commissioner also urged residents of Ebonyi to contact the command’s control room at 07064515001 in case of any distress situation,” Mr Ukandu advised.
