Two locally-made bombs and a Pump Action rifle have been recovered as the operatives of the Anambra State Police Command busted another kidnap gang in the state.
The kidnap gang members, smashed at Nnewi Ichi in Nnewi North Local Government Area of the state on Wednesday, were said to be part of the criminal elements terrorizing the Nnewi and other parts of the state.
In a statement on Thursday by the Spokesperson of the Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, the police squad stormed the place, where they also rescued a kidnap victim locked up in the hideout.
He said the victim had been taken to a hospital at Nnewi for treatment.
It was gathered that the officers of the State Police Command have so far rescued no fewer than 20 kidnap victims alive from different parts of the state since CP Aderemi Adeoye took over as the Commissioner of Police less than three months ago.
Adeoye, while commending the police operatives and the local vigilante on the collaboration that has been effective against criminal elements in the state, also charged them to sustain the onslaught until crime is reduced to the barest minimum.
