No fewer than five persons Kidnapped in different parts of Anambra state allegedly by the Fulani herdsmen have been rescued alive.
The victims, including a Pastor Godwin Ani of the Deeper Life Bible Church, a student of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (Igbariam Campus), Rapuluchukwu Achebe and three young men, were reportedly kidnapped within a space of hours.
They were already been penned down for murder if their relatives failed to pay the different ransom within a given period of time.
Their miracle, however, came as the gallant officers of the Igbariam squad of the Anambra Vigilante Group, invaded the herdsmen’s camp, overpowered the kidnappers and rescued the victims.
The student’s return alive was greeted by cheers, outburst of joy and warm reception by his fellow students.
Videos currently trending on social media, show the Pastor and some of the rescued persons recount their ordeal.
It was gathered that the student, Achebe, was kidnapped along the Igbariam-Achalla Road on his way back from Umerum to the university; while the other victims were all abducted at the Achalla axis of the same road.
When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer of the State, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said there was no information like that before him yet.
