Operatives of the Delta Police Command, Oghara Division, have rescued a kidnapped girlfriend who was on a night journey en route to Lagos with her truck driver boyfriend.
The truck driver reportedly bolted into the bush abandoning his girlfriend, Sefinat Mohammed, when a gang of three suspected kidnappers swooped on them along Koko junction, Oghara, Ethiope West Local Government Area of Delta State.
The two lovebirds were headed for Lagos on board a Futon Truck with Reg No. FST 345 YD at about 11:30 p.m on October 4, when they were ambushed and the 27-year-old lady kidnapped.
While in the bush on October 5, the truck driver, whose identity was not disclosed, made a distress call to the police who, in turn, went after the hoodlums and located their hideout along Pan Ocean road by Koko junction.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, in a statement, said the gang members, on sighting the police team, fled and abandoned the kidnapped victim.
According to him, one of the suspects, Emuesiri Umukoro, who’s 27 years old, was arrested, while a manhunt for other fleeing suspects is ongoing.
