Amaraizu revealed that the victims were rescued the following day, September 23, thanks to useful information passed across to the police by concerned members of the public.

The victims were reportedly rescued unhurt in a bush located at Orokam in Benue State. He said that the police collaborated with the community's vigilante group which led to the successful rescue mission.

One of the suspects is reported to have died from bullet wounds he sustained during a shootout with the police.

Amaraizu said that the command recovered a Renault car with registration number, UWN 992 LN, which was used by the suspects during their operations. The arrested suspects are reportedly helping the police in their investigations.
