Kidnapped woman rescued from well after 3 days in Rivers (photo)

TRACKING___Chizoba was rescued from a well on Thursday in an uncompleted building at Igwuruta community in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state.

The mother of two, who was abducted from her home along with her six-month-old baby on Monday, was thrown into the well after hard beatings by her abductor.

Luck, however, ran out on the suspect when he was caught with his victim’s baby by a team of policemen on a ‘stop and search’ operation at Omerelu, a boundary community between Rivers and Imo States.

Chizoba’s husband disclosed that he was requested by the police to come to identify the baby, having lodged a complaint about his missing wife and baby.

According to Eke who hails from Imo State, the suspect is known to him in the area as Mr Chinedu and had tried to rape his wife when she was pregnant.

Chizoba, who was in pain due to the head injuries she sustained

explained that the suspect came to her house, claiming that her husband wanted her to come to Chinedu’s house to collect some money.

On his part, the Pastor of the Assemblies of God Church in Omoduku, where the victim’s family worships, Reverend Clinton Orie, maintains it is the grace of God that kept the woman alive for three days inside the well.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Rivers, Nnamdi Omoni, also confirmed the incident to reporters.
