Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Josephine Adeh in a statement issued on Wednesday, said the command had launched aggressive manhunt to rescue the victims.

According to the PPRO, a distress message was relayed to the Bwari Divisional Police Headquarters on Wednesday morning leading to the mobilization of tactical and intelligence assets of the command to the scene.
