Police Rescue Kidnapped Victim in Delta, Arrest 10 Suspects

The Delta State Police Command has reported a series of successful operations across parts of the state, including the rescue of a kidnapped victim and the arrest of 10 suspects. The operations were conducted in Agbor, Abbi and Oghara as part of ongoing efforts to tackle kidnapping and other criminal activities.

According to the police, officers from the Agbor Division acted on intelligence following the reported abduction of a 60-year-old man. On September 4, operatives, working alongside forest guards and local security personnel, moved to Alisime Village, where they confronted suspected kidnappers and successfully rescued the victim unharmed.

The police said the suspected kidnappers fled into the surrounding area following the operation. Officers recovered a mobile phone and an ATM card, while the location was secured as security personnel continued efforts to trace those who escaped.

The latest rescue forms part of broader security operations across Delta State aimed at disrupting criminal networks and improving public safety. Police authorities have continued to rely on intelligence gathering and cooperation with local security groups to respond to reports of kidnapping and other crimes.

The Delta State Police Command said investigations into the various operations are ongoing, while efforts to locate fleeing suspects continue. Authorities have also encouraged residents to provide credible information to security agencies and remain vigilant in their communities.
