Sequel to a recent report by an online newspaper alleging that the DPO of Isiala Oboro Police Division, in Ikwuano Local Government Area of Abia State, took a kind of gratification to facilitate the rescue of a kidnapped Master Osinachi Chukwu who was abducted in Oloko. We write to put some records straight on the issue, albeit, to clear some misconceptions and misleading information from an anonymous source which accused the DPO of demanding for huge sum of money.

According to a subsequent independent investigation by our Correspondent, the DPO in his magnanimity was committed to rescuing the child by deploying his resources, men, experience and expertise to wit. As such, it is misleading to allege that he demanded a huge amount of money as gratification.

It is on this note that the Editor of Famous Reporters duly tenders an unreserved apology to DPO for any possible damage caused by the report. It is on record that the DPO was contacted during the rainy days, and in a telephone conversation confirmed that 10-years-old Osinachi was forcefully whisked away by a suspected gang of kidnappers in the early days of April 2024, upon which he swung into action, sparing no resource in tracking down the kidnappers. Any report stating otherwise is not correct.

This is to notify the general public that the Ikwuano division of the Nigeria Police under the able Leadership of DPO is still working round the clock to unravel the unfortunate incident, return the boy to his parents and bring the perpetrators to book.
