Police Public Relations Officer of the State Command, Mr. Bright Edafe confirmed this in a statement on Friday.
He said a female, one Ughale, had on December 15, reported at the Ekpan Police Division that her two-month-old baby was snatched from her during a r0bbery inc!dent while transiting in a tricycle.
Upon receipt of the report, the Divisional Police Officer, DPO, Ekpan Division, CSP Labe Joseph, immediately mobilised operatives of the Division and coordinated a swift search and rescue operation.
“During the course of the investigation, inconsistencies and suspic!ous conduct observed in the complainant’s narrative prompted further interr0gation,” the Police said.

“The suspects were arrésted, and the 1nfant was successfully rescued and is safe.
All suspect's are currently in custody while investigation continues, with efforts intensified to árrest other accomplices for prosecution,” Edafe added.
