Operatives of Anambra State Police Command have rescued three kidnapped victims at Okija Ihiala Local Government Area.
According to Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, Police operatives from Rapid Reaponse Squad, Awkuzu acting on credible information stormed the compound of one Onyeka Aduba alias Totoritor at Umuohi Village, Okija and rescued three abducted citizens chained to building pillars by suspected insurgents.
A release signed by the PPRO said two suspects, Okika Chukwujekwu aged 31years and Slyvester Ikwuanusi aged 55years were arrested for interrogation.
