The victim was reportedly abducted while returning from the farm with her mother before being taken through the bush to an area in Agenebode, Etsako East, where she was eventually rescued.
Personnel of the Fugar sector Command reportedly traced the hideout of the kidnappers after intercepting communication between the suspects and the victim’s family.
