Police in Anambra State have confirmed the rescue of six sports journalists who were kidnapped while traveling to Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, on Wednesday.
The journalists were abducted along the Isseke-Orlu Road in Ihiala.
Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said that security forces are still working to free the seventh victim.
“Joint security forces have successfully rescued six members of the media crew who were abducted while traveling from Lagos to Uyo,” Ikenga stated.
“Operations are ongoing to secure the release of the seventh crew member.”
However, there is some uncertainty about the total number of journalists involved.
Earlier reports suggested that seven were rescued, but it is still unclear if additional individuals remain unaccounted for, with some sources indicating that the whereabouts of four others have yet to be confirmed.
