Anambra: Police, vigilantes engage suspected kidnappers in gun duel
Four persons abducted in Anambra State have been rescued by a combined team of the police and Vigilance group in the state.
They were rescued when the suspects engaged the security operatives in a shootout on Friday, along Amagu Awgbu Road in Orumba North Local Government Area, as they were heading towards an exit route from the state.
This was contained in a statement Saturday, by the police spokesperson in the state, Ikenga Tochukwu, and made available to reporters.
The gang, according to the PPRO, opened fire on sighting the patrol team, but bowed to police-vigilante superior firepower.
