Mrs. Blessing Adagba, the Coordinator of Ngbo Central Development Centre in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, has regained her freedom five days after being kidnapped by gunmen.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Ebonyi State Police Command, SP Joshua Ukandu, confirmed her release to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abakaliki.
NAN recalls that Adagba was abducted on April 3 in the Okposhi Eheku community in Ohaukwu LGA.
Ukandu disclosed that her release was made possible through the efforts of operatives of the Nigeria Police Force in the state.
“The victim was released yesterday (Tuesday) night. During the tracking of the suspects after the victim’s release, we were able to arrest one member of the syndicate, Chukwuemeka Nwazunku,” he said.
Ukandu expressed optimism that the arrest of Nwazunku would aid in uncovering and apprehending the rest of the gang involved in the abduction.
