The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the Edo State Police Command, Bello Kontongs, has narrated how an 8-year-old victim got rescued from kidnappers in her neighborhood.
The PPRO spoke concerning the incident during his recent interview on Channels TV.
Experts have often cautioned parents and guardians concerning the importance of watching over their wards as kidnappers and other criminals are on a rampage.
A recent development in Esan North East, Edo State, may have reinforced the importance of the advice.
Narrating the incident, Bello said, “A good samaritan rescued an 8-year-old girl in Uromi area.
The victim was tied in an uncompleted building located in the bush, but the good samaritan brought her to the police station.
Upon interrogation, the little girl revealed that she got abducted by two young boys in her neighborhood.
The boys reportedly tied the victim’s mouth, hands, and legs before she got rescued.”
The arrested suspects were a 13-year-old boy and an 18-year-old boy.
They had reportedly planned to demand N500,000 ransom from the victim’s family
