The Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Service (NHFSS), on Monday, said that its operatives rescued a kidnap victim along Nri-Enugwu-Ukwu road between Anaocha and Njikoka LGA of Anambra State.
This is contained in a statement by the Zonal Commander of NHFSS in the South East, ACG Mark Okonkwo, on Tuesday in Abuja.
Okonkwo said that the successful operation took place barely three weeks after the rescue of two siblings from kidnappers and recovered stolen vehicles around Nkwelle-Ezunaka axis of Oyi LGA of the state.
He said that the hunters received a distress call at 2000 hours on Sunday from a passer-by, who saw some people forcing someone into a vehicle along the aforementioned route.
