Edo State Police Command on Friday rescued an 11-year-old boy, Onose Umasabor, who was abducted in his parents’ bedroom on July 19, 2021, in Ososo, Akoko Edo Local Government Area of the state.
The Command, in a press statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Kontongs Bello, said that the rescue of the minor was carried out through its Ososo Divisional Headquarters, which received a report of the abduction around 1am on July 19. He said police operatives “followed the hoodlums to their hide-out in Uneme Erunu/Okpella area of Akoko Edo LGA of Edo State”.“Upon sighting the operatives, the abductors engaged them in a gun duel but they were overwhelmed by the superior firepower from the police which caused them to abandon the victim unhurt.
The PPRO disclosed that bush-combing was on top gear with the aim of arresting the hoodlums, while investigation was still ongoing to unravel the true identity of those behind the abduction of the boy. The Command warned criminals to relocate from the state or be ready to face the full wrath of the law.
