Kidnap Of 5 Persons in Ebonyi: We’re Yet To Confirm Location – Police

On Wednesday, the Ebonyi State Police Command said it has not been able to verify the whereabouts of the group responsible for the abduction of five individuals within the state on Tuesday.

Recall that some national media had reported that the incident occurred along the Mile 2 axis, the Ishiagu/Okigwe express road, in Ivo Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking on the development, SP Onome Onovwakpoyeya, spokesperson of the command, told NAN on Wednesday in Abakaliki that the location of the incident was not yet clear.

Onovwakpoyeya noted that policemen in the state are on top of the issue to ascertain the actual location.

She said: “We are aware of the incident, but we are not sure of the location. One of the reports says they were kidnapped on the way while returning from Enugu to Ebonyi, and another says they were kidnapped on the farm. But the Police are on it, and the investigation is ongoing.”
