Edo police silent on rescue of justice’s kidnapped family

FOR security reasons and safety of the victims, the Edo State Police Command said yesterday that it would not make public its strategies to rescue the wife, daughter and driver of Justice of the Supreme Court, Bode Rhodes-Vivour. They were kidnapped on Friday on their way to Benin City for a wedding by unknown gunmen suspected to be kidnappers.

Speaking to journalists Monday after a visit to the area near Okada, Ovia North East council, where the incident happened, Commissioner of Police, Folusho Adebanjo, said the safety of the victims was paramount to the police and he would want to keep to his chest how far the force had gone.

“I will not want to say much because so far, they have not been released,” he said. “But we are in contact with the family. We don’t want to jeopardised what we are doing because they (kidnappers) too, read papers, so it will not be nice to tell you what we are doing. Their families would want them to be brought back safely.”

Meanwhile, the Benin chapter of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) also yesterday demanded the “immediate and unconditional release of Mrs. Rhodes-Vivour, her daughter and driver.”
