Two kidnapped students have been rescued unhurt by the police in the Ikwo Local Government area of Ebonyi State.

The students were rescued following an intelligent report, which led the operatives of Ikwo police division to storm an uncompleted building where the students were being held.

This was disclosed by the Commissioner of Police, CP Anthonia Uche-Anya, on Wednesday, while briefing journalists at the Ebonyi State Police Command headquarters in Abakaliki, the state capital.

She stated that the victims were rescued unhurt, adding that three suspects were arrested, and remain in police custody as investigations continue.

The police boss, while reeling out the achievements of the command, said that a total of 131 suspects were arrested for various offences between July and mid-August 2025, noting that 52 suspects have already been charged to court, as investigations are ongoing for others who will soon be arraigned.

The Command has recovered six vehicles, 15 assorted firearms, and 50 rounds of ammunition of various calibres, while also dislodging several criminal hideouts across the state.
