4 kidnap victims rescued in Port Harcourt - Mhiz Rebecca - 01-13-2017
The State Security Services, DSS, says
it has rescued four oil company
kidnap victims from their abductors
in Port Harcourt.
This is contained in a statement by
DSS spokesperson, Tony Opuiyo, in
Abuja on Friday.
Mr. Opuiyo said the victims were
rescued during an operation
supported by the military.
He said a staff of the service
sustained gunshot injuries while
three members of the gang were
killed during exchange of gun fire.
According to him, one AK 47 rifle,
one magazine containing 59 rounds
of 7.5mm ammunition and three
locally made pistols were recovered
from the gang.
He said the kidnap gang leader,
Emmanuel Eyo, had earlier been
arrested in Uyo.
Mr. Opuiyo also said one Alkasim
Salisu, a Boko Haram member had
been arrested by the service in
Kaduna State.
He said Mr Salisu had fled the
military operation in Yobe State to
settle in Kaduna where he and his
cohorts had planned to launch
attacks on select targets in Kaduna.
“The Service has also arrested one Kelvin Nwanaji
in Lagos, who opened a Facebook Account in the
name of the Director General of the SSS.
“The suspect has been using the account to
defraud unsuspecting members of the public who
he promised jobs in the service”, he said.
He said that the arrest of the suspect was sequel
to investigation arising from the misinformation
in the social media that the service was
recruiting.
“It is in this regard that the service wishes to
inform the public to disregard the falsehood as it
is not currently engaged in any recruitment.
“It should be noted that employment into the
service is conducted in the most transparent
manner in line with laid down procedures and
processes.
“While the public is advised to be wary of
fraudsters who may use this opportunity to extort
money from them, the Service demands that news
about recruitment be disregarded in its entirety”,
he added.
