Police in Ebonyi State have recovered two siblings aged five and ten who were abducted from their home in Abakaliki, the state capital, at gunpoint.

The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Mrs Loveth Oda, disclosed this in a press statement in Abakaliki.

Mrs Oda alleged that the kidnappers robbed the mother of the siblings of huge amount of money before taking her children away.

According to her, the suspected kidnapper later demanded ten million Naira ransom but had to abandon the children in Afikpo South Local Government Area following pressure from police operatives.

Mrs Oda said the children had been reunited with their parents while efforts were being made to track down the abductors and their collaborators.

It was gathered that three suspects were also in police custody over aborted abduction of a seven months old baby in Abakaliki.
