Rivers State Police Command Arrests 162 Cult Members, 28 Kidnappers

 

Also arrested were 27 armed robbery suspects and seven kidnappers.

 

Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Ahmad Muhammad, disclosed this to reporters on Tuesday, June 2. in Port Harcourt.

 

Muhammad said its anti-Cultist Unit station in Port Harcourt said some of the suspects were nabbed when security operatives stormed their hideout in various local communities across the state.

 

He said a kidnap victim, Ifeoma Amadi, was res­cued at the early hours of Tuesday at her captors’ den along Ogbakiri waterfront in Emohua Local Govern­ment Area of the state.

 

Muhammad attributed the feats of the command to the tre­mendous support it has been receiving from “secu­rity conscious and patriotic citizens by way of volun­teering credible and reli­able information.”
