The Police Force Ebonyi Command has foiled a kidnapping attempt at Mile 50 Layout, Abakaliki, the state capital.
Spokesperson of the command, SP Joshua Ukandu, told reporters on Monday that officers also recovered the vehicle of the victim, Nneka Onyibe.
According to Ukandu, on March 30 at about 8:30 pm, the command received a report of a kidnapping incident near Mile 50 Layout in Abakaliki.
“Operatives were immediately dispatched to track the kidnappers.
“They pursued an ash-colored Toyota Corolla with registration number SKA 828 AA, which was used by the suspects, to Tina Nweze Street in the area.
“Under pressure from the operatives, the kidnappers abandoned the victim, the Toyota Corolla, and a Toyota Sienna belonging to the victim.
