The Rivers State Police Command has announced the unconditional release of Chidiebere Onyia, a reporter with NTA Port Harcourt who was kidnapped last week.
This was made known by the Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Nnamdi Omoni.
According to him, the rescue was made possible due to the intense pressure mounted by the Command as directed by the Authority. Her abductors on seeing the red flag and oblivious of the fact that were closing in on them, however bowed to the seeming pressure and abandoned her, from where she was sighted and rescued.
The PPRO said that she is currently receiving medical attention and will be debriefed and released to reunite with her waiting family.
It will be recalled that upon abduction, the Command assured and reassured the family, NUJ and the Civil Society Groups that, with the strategies in place, she would be released in record time. Keeping faith with that assurance, it was with great pride that the Command announced that she regained her freedom yesterday, 14, February, 2021 at about 11:30am. The Command called it their modest gift to the pen Profession.
He urged the Media Professionals to sustain the bonding with the Command, as they remain resolute in providing the enabling environment for all to realise their full potentials in the State.
