Traditional ruler of Orodo and former head of the Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers, His Royal Highness Samuel Ohiri, has been freed from the clutches of kidnappers.
The traditional ruler, who was kidnapped by gunmen from his home in Orodo community, Mbaitoli Local Government Area, Imo State, some weeks ago, was reportedly rescued unharmed by members of the Imo State Police Command’s Anti-Kidnapping unit following a heated battle with the kidnappers in the forest.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Henry Okoye, made the disclosure on Thursday in Owerri, via a WhatsApp message on the force platform.
He said the Command had been putting up a lot of effort, cooperating with other security services to make sure the traditional ruler was freed.
