The police have rescued a security officer of the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu, abducted on Tuesday by gunmen along with a nurse of the hospital.

According to the statement released by ASP Daniel Ndukwe, spokesperson for the Enugu State Police Command, the guard was rescued in the Ishi-Ozalla area, within the same local government area, around 11.45pm the same day of the abduction.
The statement said the police operation was still ongoing, with a relentless focus on securing the safe return of the abducted female nurse and apprehending the perpetrators.
“Consequently, the Commissioner of Police, CP Kanayo Uzuegbu, psc (+), has ordered the police operatives and the complementary teams from the Neighborhood Watch Group, Forest Guards and local vigilantes to ensure that everything is done to rescue the female nurse and arrest the hoodlums,” Ndukwe said in the statement.
The Commissioner of Police appealed to members of the public, particularly residents of the Ituku-Ozalla community and surrounding areas, to remain vigilant and report any suspicious individuals within their neighbourhoods or nearby forests to the authorities.
