Mr Yamu said that the Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Betty Otimenyin, had vowed to rescue the kidnapped traditional ruler, and her team worked tirelessly to keep that promise.
He said the command thanked Edo State Government and attributed the success to the logistic support rendered by Gov. Monday Okpebholo.
“The command equally appreciates the vigilantes, hunters and other well-meaning residents of the State for their support so far.
“The general public is assured that the command’s commitment to the fight against crime remains unshaken,” Mr Yamu said.
