Operatives of the Abraka Police Division, working alongside local vigilantes and hunters in Ethiope-East Local Government Area of Delta State, have rescued a kidnap victim abducted from his residence in Abraka community.
The victim was freed on April 3, 2026, two days after the abduction was reported to the police on April 1.
Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe, confirmed the development in a statement issued in Warri.
Edafe said the victim had been taken by armed men who invaded a residence at Denedo Extension in Abraka.
According to him, the Divisional Police Officer promptly mobilised patrol teams in collaboration with vigilantes and hunters, who tracked the suspects into a nearby bush where the victim was being held.
He explained that the kidnappers fled the scene after noticing security operatives closing in on their location, abandoning the victim along a railway corridor in the area.
“The victim is safe and has provided useful information, while efforts are ongoing to arrest the suspects,” Edafe said.
