A kidnapped victim has been rescued from the boot of a getaway car in Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The victim was tied and kept in the boot of the car before operatives rescued him after his abductors abandoned him and took to their heels.
Public Relations Officer of the command, DSP Bright Edafe, who confirmed this yesterday, said 50 rounds of live cartridges were recovered from the car.
He said operatives had received information that the hoodlums stormed the victim’s residence to whisk him, adding that the police acted swiftly to chase the hoodlums to the point where they abandoned the car after exchange of fire.
Edafe also confirmed the arrest of two suspects, one Felix Itoje, a 32-year old mechanic, and 22-year-old Israel Adam, who is suspected to be the armourer of the group that allegedly kidnapped a female victim, also, in Agbarho.
He said another suspect, one Onyeka Ozoh (30), was also arrested in Issele-Uku, Aniocha North Local Government Area of the state for the offence of kidnapping.
He said the suspected kidnapper was hibernating somewhere in Issele-Uku, noting that operatives were detailed to the hideout and arrested the 30-year-old suspect and recovered a red coloured Toyota Camry without registration number.
