A good Samaritan who gave his name as Barr. Smart Ikenga has narrated how he helped a girl who escaped from the den of her kidnapper to reunite with her family.
The girl, whose name was withheld because she is still a minor was reported to have been whisked away by her kidnapper from the town axis of Port Harcourt to a bush in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Narrating the incident to our correspondent, Ikenga said: “My nephew called from Igwurutali, in Ikwerre LGA where he is building a house that he saw this girl coming out of a bush and was asking him the way out of the bush.
“He enquired from the girl where she was coming from and the girl said she was kidnapped by somebody who asked her to enter a vehicle within the town axis of Port Harcourt and that she entered and all of a sudden, she was brought down to the bush.

“She said she slept in the bush all through the night with her captor and that she was lucky to escape.
“After my nephew gave me all this narration, I asked where was he and he said he was still with the girl at Igwurutali, I asked if I could talk with the girl and he gave her the phone for me to talk with her.
“So, I asked the girl her name and where she lives and she mentioned. So, I told my nephew to take the girl to our family chairman and thereafter I called the state police command and I narrated the incident to the police.
“I later called my nephew who said they were on their way to Igwurutali police station which I also told the state police command. Then I called my nephew again and he said the state police command had arrived at Igwurutali police division and that the state police personnel had gone with the girl.”
