The Coordinator of Ngbo Central Development Centre in Ohaukwu Local Government Area, Ebonyi State, Blessing Adagba, has regained her freedom after five days in captivity.
Adagba was abducted last Thursday by unidentified gunmen in her hometown, Okposhi Eheku community.
Speaking to Channels Television on Wednesday evening, Ebonyi State Police spokesperson, SP Joshua Ukandu, confirmed her release during a phone interview. He credited the efforts of the Nigeria Police Force officers in the state for securing her freedom.
Ukandu further revealed that one suspect was apprehended during the tracking operation following the victim’s release on Tuesday night.
“The victim was released Tuesday night. During the tracking of the suspects, after the release of the victim, we were able to arrest one of the syndicates.
“We hope that the arrest of suspect will help our men in fishing out the rest of the gang,” Ukandu said.
