The only student of Abia State University (ABSU), Uturu, who was still in the custody of a criminal gang that kidnapped some persons on Wednesday, along Okigwe-Uturu Road, has been released.
This was made known by the Governor of Abia state, Okezie Ikpeazu, yesterday via his official Twitter handle.
He expressed joy at the development and promised that he will take justice to the perpetrators.
His tweet read:
“It is with exceedingly great joy and a very pleasant sense of relief that I announce that the only kidnapped ABSU student who was still in custody of the hoodlums that abducted some people few days ago along the Okigwe-Uturu Road has been freed.
“I spoke with her and her mother minutes ago and want to thank God, our security agents and the management of ABSU for a job well done leading to this good news.
“Our administration has since taken measures to strengthen security around the area where the incident happened and even beyond it ensure security of lives and property which remains my number one assignment as Governor and it is one duty I will never take lightly.
“We will surely take justice to those who abducted our student as we will not cohabit this state with criminals.
“To God be the glory!”
