The police in Edo State have rescued seven kidnapped victims from a bush in the Ihevbie area in Owan East LGA.
It was learnt that the victims were rescued by the police in collaboration with vigilantes after four days of bush combing.
On Wednesday, two victims were rescued while seven additional victims were rescued on Saturday, bringing the total of rescued victims to nine.
