The spokesperson for Rivers Police Command, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, identified the rescued victim as a 10-year-old boy in a statement on Friday.
She said that Bete allegedly kidnapped the boy on Nov. 25 and demanded a ransom of N5m for his release.
“After the minor was abducted, his mother reported the incident to the police, prompting the Anti-Kidnapping Unit to take swift action,” Iringe-Koko said.
