UPDATE: Retired Policeman, Nursing Mother & 3 Others Rescued After Attack On Edo Train Station

A retired police officer, a nursing mother and her baby, as well as two minors, who are among the 32 passengers abducted from Igueben train station, in Igueben Local Government Area of Edo State last weekend, have been rescued.

The travelers were waiting to board a train to Warri in Delta State before being abducted on Saturday afternoon January 7, by gunmen.

A combined team of security agents including the local vigilante and hunters carried out the rescue operation.

“Five persons have been rescued so far. The kidnappers were forced to release the minors who they felt couldn’t move fast due to the intensity of the security operatives, especially the hunters who were in the bush.”

Edo State Police Command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, who also confirmed the rescue of the victims, said it was made possible in collaboration with other security agencies.

Nwabuzor said;

“Among the rescued victims by the security operatives were a retired police officer, a lady with a one-year-old child, a boy and a girl of three and six years old respectively but the whereabouts of their parents is yet unknown.”

The police spokesperson added that the police with other security agencies, the Edo state Security Network, vigilantes, and hunters are still combing the bush to rescue the victims unhurt and further arrest the perpetrators

Animals.  Having  ravaged the entire  northern region they  want to  replicate their  madness in the  South. Comb all the  bushes. Fish them out and  do the  needful. Kill them.  No time  for  negotiations,  surrender  and  rehabilitation.  This  will  serve as an eye opener to the southerners.  Everyone of us should be  vigilant. A lot is happening under this  demonic administration.  Whenever you hear of terrorists being  neutralized by the security officials in the north  please  don't  give in. There is nothing like that. Thousands of  terrorists are being  rehabilitated and sent to states in middle belt and southern states.  Hence we are having upsurge in banditry activities. Be watchful.
