The Police Command in Delta has vowed to apprehend and prosecute the abductors of Dr Boniface Anyanwu and Nnamdi Nwachukwu in Delta.
The Spokesman of the command, Andrew Aniamaka, said this while confirming the rescue of the duo to the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Warri.
Animaka said: “They have been released but we will not rest on our oars until the perpetrators are brought to book, that is all I can say for now.”
Anyanwu, a lecturer with the Department of Theatre Arts, Delta University and Nwachukwu, son of a lecturer, Prof. Augustine Nwachukwu, in the institution, were kidnapped by gunmen on February 3.
The incident was said to have occurred at about 3 a.m. in Obiaruku, Ukwuani Local Government Area of the state.
The victims were reported to have been sighted in chains at about 3:00 p.m on Monday by a local hunter in a thick forest around Obiaruku.
The hunter, whose identity was not given, raised the alarm that attracted the attention of members of the vigilance group in the area who eventually rescued them.
