“The news of the kidnap prompted the Commissioner of Police to give a matching order to the Command’s anti kidnapping operatives which he personally supervised that eventually forced the kidnappers to abandon the victims when they could not withstand the intense pressure placed on them, hence they fled for their lives.
Effort is still ongoing to arrest the fleeing suspects.
