The abducted victim was, however, rescued unhurt by FCT operatives on January 28.

He said, “If you are a bandit, kidnapper, an armed robber, killer, whatever high crime you are committing, No. 1. We have a four-point agenda, it is either you shoot me, you shoot us, or you shoot me. I do not have fear about it.

“The second movement is that we will arrest you and you will be in prison. The third one is that your movement will be in my cell. The fourth one that you have every opportunity to act upon, is that you should be on the run.”
