The Commissioner of Police Enugu State Command CP Ahmed Ammani calls on medical practitioners and the public to report any person with gunshot injuries to the nearest Police Station for necessary action in line with the Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot Act 2017.
CP Ammani made this call on Sunday 25th of June 2023 when Police Operatives serving in Igbo-Eze North Division, with active assistance from Forest Guard and Neighborhood Watch Group rescued four kidnapped victims (two males and two females, names withheld for security purpose) after an intense gun fight with the kidnappers in a forest at Aishi-Ette in Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area.
In a bulletin signed by the Police Public Relations officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, the operation was a success although one of the kidnapped victims sustained a gunshot injury on his thigh; he is currently responding to treatment and in stable condition.
However, most of the kidnappers escaped with varying degrees of gunshot wounds; they abandoned the victims and fled.
“The victims were reported to have been kidnapped at Umuopu village, along Ette/Ogugu Road, on 23/06/2023 at about 9.30 pm, on their way to Obollo-Afor, Enugu State from Ankpa, Kogi State; the hoodlums had demanded a ransom of N10,000,000.00 for each of them,” DSP Daniel Ndukwe stated.
Commending the team for adhering to strategies devised by the Command in a bid to rid the state of unrepentant criminals, the Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Ammani, further charged police operatives to remain focused and determined to contain criminal cases of abduction/kidnapping in the State.
“The Police will never rest on their oars until the state is rid of unrepentant criminals and their activities,” CP Ammani reiterates.
