The Rivers State Police Command has debunked the report that six children were rescued from an alleged female kidnapper at Mango Estate in Elelenwo, Port Harcourt, on Tuesday.
An eyewitness identified as Witty Smith had disclosed that the alleged kidnapper was apprehended when one of the kidnapped children escaped and alerted residents of the area.
According to the witness, residents had broken into the woman’s apartment and found the children tied with a rope with one of them reportedly dead.
However, the spokesperson of the state Police command, Grace Iringe-Koko said the report was false, noting that the children are the woman’s grandchildren.
The image-maker said, “The Rivers State Police Command wishes to inform the general public to misleading rumours making rounds about an elderly age woman of 60 years old kidnapping three (3) children, those kids are the grandchildren under her care, disregard such information, please.”
