The Ebonyi State Police<\/a> Command Thursday confirmed the kidnap of two Chinese men working in a mining site in Ihietutu, Ishiagu in Ivo Local Government Area of Ebonyi by unknown gunmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chinese nationals are employees at Greenfield Metals Nigeria Limited which specialises in lead and zinc mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confirming the incident, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs Loveth Odah, said the victims were reportedly abducted on Wednesday, June 3 at the mining site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said preliminary investigation into the criminal act had commenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe got the information yesterday, a detachment of our tactical team was despatched to the area with a view to unraveling the true situation and also to rescue the victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe team is yet to return to furnish us with relevant information about the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut, I can confirm to you that we received a distress call from the area yesterday (Wednesday) informing the police of alleged abduction of two Chinese working in a mining site at Ihietutu in Ishiagu community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are waiting for information from our men before we can make informed comments on the motive behind the alleged abduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor now, we cannot say if the abduction was for ransom purposes or not because the abductors<\/a> are yet to establish contacts with the company,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
