Kidnapped NDLEA officers regain freedom in Delta

The Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Delta State Command has confirmed the release of its kidnapped officers unhurt.

It had earlier been reported that the NDLEA officers were abducted on Thursday night some distance away from the head office of the agency located off Isah-Ogwashi-Uku Road, Aniocha South Local Government Area of Delta State.

The officers were kidnapped by the hoodlums who laid ambush for them at the close of work at around 8p.m. on the fateful day.

However, the spokesperson for the state command, Mr John Kennedy, who confirmed the release on Monday in Asaba, disclosed that the officers were released on Sunday night after much pressure from the agency and other sister agencies.

He said, “I want to confirm the release of our officers. They were released on Sunday night after much pressure from the agency and other sisters agencies.

“The senior officer was not abducted along with his orderly as it was reported. The senior officer was abducted and another officer was abducted in another location entirely.”
