The Ebonyi State Police command has confirmed the release of the two Chinese Nationals kidnapped last week in the state.
RootsTv had reported that the victims, Sun Zhi Xim and Wang Qinghu, were abducted by unknown gunmen at a road construction site in Ohaozara Local Government Area on Wednesday.
Police said the victims were rescued inside a thick forest near the site.
“The persistent pressure mounted by the police on the kidnappers made them abandon the victims inside the bush.
“The victims have been re-united with their fellow Chinese nationals working in the company as efforts have been intensified to arrest the fleeing gunmen.”
Police, however, did not confirm if a ransom was paid to set them free.
