The Police rescued three abductees chained to pillars following a raid on the compound of one Onyeka Aduba alias Totoritor at Umuohi Village, Okija area of the State on Friday.
Operatives from Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu, also arrested two suspects identified as 31-year-old Okika Chukwujekwu and 55-year-old Sylvester Okorie Ikwuanusi.
