According to a statement made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Abuja by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Anthony Okan Placid, the victims were rescued following sustained intelligence-driven operations, robust inter-agency collaboration, and coordinated tactical efforts targeting criminal elements operating within the maritime corridor.
It explained that, acting on credible intelligence, joint operatives intensified surveillance and conducted targeted operations across identified flashpoints, leading to the safe rescue of all victims without harm.
According to it, “the rescued victims are currently undergoing medical evaluation and necessary debriefing, after which they will be reunited with their families.”
It added that the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, commended the joint security team for the successful rescue, describing it as a testament to effective inter-agency collaboration and intelligence-led operations.
The Force assured the public that efforts were ongoing to track down and apprehend all perpetrators involved in the abduction and bring them to justice.
