Two suspected kidnappers were killed and a victim rescued by the police in Anambra State.
The victim is one Nnamdi who was kidnapped on Wednesday at a filling station at Obosi near Onitsha by four men.

She said when the kidnappers noticed they were being trailed by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), they opened fire.
“As the hoodlums got to know that they were being trailed, they started attacking the police but two of the kidnappers were killed, while others escaped with bullet wounds,” Nwode said.
She said one locally made pistol with two live cartridges, one cut to size single barrel gun, one unregistered Q-link motorcycle and a cell phone were recovered from them.
