Abducted community leader, Harrison Ekeleme and 3 others escape from kidnappers in Sapele
The abducted President-General of Amukpe Community, Sapele Local Government Area Delta State, Mr. Harrison Ekeleme and 3 others have escaped from kidnappers’ den.
Ekeleme and the 3 young men were abducted along the Warri-Sapele Expressway by armed men some days ago.
A senior police officer, who pleaded anonymity, told journalists that a covert police operation led by SP Harrison Nwabuisi of Sapele Division closed in on the kidnappers, forcing them to abandon their victims.
Confirming his release, Ekeleme thanked God for sparing his life, saying “It was a horrific experience, saying the kidnappers seemed familiar with the routes around Warri and neighbouring villages.
“I never lost hope in our security agencies,” he said
Confirming the development, the Chairman of Sapele Local Government Council, Hon Eugene Inoaghan, commended the police and assured residents of continued efforts to stamp out crimes from the locality.
