But on Monday, the state police

command said the boy has been rescued safely, while Kenechukwu Amoke, Anayo Amoke, Oluchi Asadu (female) and Maureen Uchenna (female), have been arrested in connection with the abduction by operatives of the Anti – Kidnapping Squad attached to the command.

The state’s Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, who paraded the suspects before journalists at Eleweran, the headquarters of the state police command, said the little boy was rescued alive on November 19.
