Three tents suspected to be kidnappers’ camps were discovered, and five mobile phones believed to belong to victims were recovered.
The rescue followed a distress call from Egoro Amende Community, Ekpoma, reporting the abduction of farmer Abraham Udewa and his wives, Brinda and Anna Abraham. A joint security team tracked the suspects across nearby forests, forcing the kidnappers to flee and leaving the victims unharmed. Items recovered include cutlasses, a solar panel, rope, palm oil, and a face cap.
Separately, five suspects were arrested for pipeline vandalism in Uhiele Community, Ekpoma. Recovered items included an excavator used to damage the pipeline. Authorities are pursuing other suspects and recovered pipes.
