In a statement on Tuesday in Awka, the state capital, Police Public Relations Officer in Anambra State, Deputy Superintendent Tochukwu Ikenga said that the police operatives responded to a distress call along Isseke, Ihiala-Orlu expressway at 12:15 am and rescued the 15 abducted corps members unhurt.

“Information reveals that the corps members finished their three weeks of orientation programme today and were en route to Lagos before their vehicle was intercepted at a Total junction in Ihiala by unidentified armed men in a white Toyota Hilux.

“The corps members’ vehicle was diverted to Isseke, Ihiala-Orlu expressway where the gunmen kept them hostage.

“When the armed men noticed they were being followed by police operatives, they abandoned the corps members and zoomed off with the Toyota Hiace bus with Registration number EPE 353 YE”, he said.
