The Commissioner of Police in the state, Olatunji Disu, announced this during a news conference in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.

Disu said that the teenager, aged 16, was repeatedly raped by her kidnappers after being taken to Port Harcourt.

He said that the crime was uncovered when officers at Abuloma Police Station received credible intelligence regarding the suspicious movement of one of the suspects.

“Upon receiving the information, operatives were swiftly dispatched to the area, and they arrested one male suspect.

“Officers rescued the teenage girl (name withheld) who had been held against her will by the suspect.
