The Police Public Relations Officer, David Misal disclosed this
to journalists on Tuesday in Jalingo, the state capital.
According to Misal, the kidnappers blocked the ever-busy Jalingo
– Wukari expressway and have concluded plans to abduct the said
Chinese national when the police intervened.

One of the suspected kidnappers was said to have been killed
while exchanging gunfire as others escaped.
Misal disclosed that one AK47 rifle with two loaded magazines
and 60 rounds of ammunition were recovered.
The ever-busy Jalingo Wukari expressway has been a source of
serious concern for motorists and passengers alike who most times
fall victim to their traps.
Most of these cases are underreported due to the victims being
warned by their abductors not to disclose such to either
journalists or security agencies.
