Security personnel have reportedly detained one of the suspected kidnappers in connection with the kidnapping of 32 passengers at the Igueben train station in the Igueben Local Government Area of Edo State, according to the state’s Commissioner for Communications and Orientation, Hon. Chris Nehikhare.

At a press conference in Benin City, the commissioner made this announcement and added that one of the 32 people attacked at the train station had managed to escape the kidnappers.

He said, “After 32 persons were kidnapped, the Police, vigilante, and local hunters swung into action, combing the bushes around the vicinity. One of the kidnapped victims was able to escape.”

Nehikhare noted, “The Edo State deputy Governor, Rt. Hon. Philip Shaibu, has visited the scene of the attack for on-the-spot assessment and was told that one of the suspects was arrested and he had been helping the police with investigation to arrest other fleeing members of the kidnapping gang.

“We congratulate the Police and other security agencies for their swiftness in attending to the security brief. We appreciate the local hunters and members of the Edo State Security Network as their collaboration assisted in this operation. This synergy led to the success recorded in a very short time.”

“We hope this is the last time we will have such an attack on government infrastructure, especially train stations here in Edo State. Our security network was swift to react to the incident and we condole the families of the victims. We will give necessary support to the security agencies, vigilantes and local hunters who are on the trail of these kidnappers,” he added.
