Abducted Chinese National Regains Freedom in Kwara
The Kwara State Police Command has rescued PengChao Zhang, a Chinese national, from his abductors in a forest within the state, after spending 10 days in the kidnappers' den.
Zhang, known as Williams Kaka among his business associates, was rescued on Tuesday by police operatives after a series of searches and investigations by the Police Tactical Team and vigilantes in the state forest.
He was reportedly abducted by a six-man armed gang at Cherish Guest House located in Eiyenkorin, on the outskirts of Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
