Two Chinese, kidnapped in Nigeria, freed
The police spokesperson in the state, Loveth Odah, told journalists in Abakaliki on Sunday that they were rescued by the police unhurt.
“They were rescued on Saturday by 11 a.m. The pressure was so much on the kidnappers that they had to abandon them and flee. They were rescued in a thick forest around the area unhurt. They were not physically tortured but they may be psychologically tortured,” Ms Odah said. “The police in the state have invited the foreign nationals to a meeting to sensitise them on the need to liaise with the police to always provide them with adequate security”.
