Police Rescue Abducted Teenager Held Inside Ghana-Must-Go Bag In Rivers
Operatives of the Rivers Police Command have rescued a teenager who was kidnapped in Enugu and transported to Port Harcourt, in a ‘Ghana-Must-Go’ bag.
The outgoing Rivers Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, who confirmed the incident in Port Harcourt on Wednesday, said the teenager, aged 16, was repeatedly raped by her kidnappers after being taken to Port Harcourt.
He said the crime was uncovered when officers at Abuloma Police Station received credible intelligence regarding the suspicious movement of one of the suspects.
“Upon receiving the information, operatives were swiftly dispatched to the area and arrested one male suspect. Officers rescued the teenage girl (name withheld) who had been held against her will by the suspect.
“Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect lured the teenager from her residence in Garki, Enugu, placed her in a ‘Ghana-Must-Go’ bag and transported her from Enugu to Port Harcourt”, he said, adding that upon arriving in Port Harcourt, the victim was taken to the residence of an alleged internet fraudster.
Disu said the alleged fraudster and another suspect repeatedly had carnal knowledge of the teenager.
“The victim has undergone medical examination and treatment, while the suspects are in our custody. A manhunt for other suspects had been initiated”, he added.
