The Enugu State Police Command says it is working hard to rescue the coach of Rivers United, Stanley Eguma who was abducted on Tuesday.
Commissioner of Police in Enugu State, Mr Mohammed Aliyu, has ordered the rescue of the coach who was abducted along the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway.
Aliyu gave the order in a statement issued by the State’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), ASP Daniel Ndukwe, on Wednesday, in Enugu.
The statement said that Eguma was abducted by yet-to-be-identified gunmen on June 15, at about 4 p.m on the Enugu-Port Harcourt expressway.
“The order is the sequel to a complaint made to the Anti-Kidnapping Unit of the command, the same date as the incident at about 5:05 p.m, by two other persons travelling with the victim.
“His co-travellers alleged that the unidentified gunmen, operating in a white-coloured Hilux van, trailed and forced the black-coloured Hilux van conveying them from Gombe to Port-Harcourt, to stop.
“They further alleged that the assailants pushed the two of them out and made away with the vehicle, abducting the victim in the process”.
The commissioner, however, urged members of the public with useful information that would assist the command in its ongoing investigation, not to hold back.
“Informants can call the command’s hotlines: 08032003702, 08075390883, 08086671202 or 08098880172 or by sending an email to: contact042ppro@gmail.com.
“The command is assuring the confidentiality of the informants’ identities,’’ the statement added.
