Edo police rescue nine kidnapped travellers - Punch Newspapers

Men of the Edo State Police Command have rescued nine kidnapped victims in the Okpella area of the state.

In a statement on Monday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Kontongs Bello, said the victims were rescued in the bush after the police received credible information from the public. He said, “Acting on credible information from members of the public that a luxurious bus belonging to a private company travelling from one of the eastern states to Abuja had been intercepted by a group of hoodlums suspected to be kidnappers and taken to the bush, in the Okpella area of Edo state, the DPO Okpella divisional headquarters, CSP Kolawole Aremu, immediately swung into action by mobilising his team from Okpella division, and local vigilantes for immediate bush combing.

“The suspected kidnappers, on noticing the team of operatives in their den, hurriedly abandoned the victims and escaped into the thick forest. The nine kidnapped victims were all rescued unhurt. They were advised to continue their journey after profiling them.”

Problem here is.the police force are always behind. day always react rather dan pro act
