Police foil kidnap attempt, arrest 2 suspects in A’Ibom.

Operatives of the Akwa Ibom State Police Command have foiled a kidnap attempt and arrested two suspects in Eket, along Factory Road, Afia Nsit, Eket Local Government Area.

A statement issued in Uyo on Monday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, Timfon John, confirmed that the incident occurred on Saturday night when four men attempted to force their way into the victim’s car as he was about to drive into his home.

When the joint team arrived, the assailants fled, while the officers gave them a hot chase and two suspects were arrested.

John said that a search of an uncompleted building in a nearby bush led to the recovery of a significant cache of weapons and items, including an AK-47 rifle, assault rifle, pump-action shotgun, and ammunition. 

She assured that the command would intensify efforts to arrest the fleeing suspects.
