Police in Imo State have rescued the abducted Eze Damian Nwaigwe, the traditional ruler of Mbutu in Aboh-Mbaise Council Area.
Police spokesman in the Imo State Command, CSP Michael Abattam, said in a statement issued in Owerri on Saturday that the traditional ruler was rescued unhurt and reunited with his family.
He added that security had been beefed up in the community.
Eze Nwaigwe was kidnapped at his residence on Thursday, a day after the traditional ruler of Atta autonomous community in Njaba Council Area, Eze Edwin Azike, was kidnapped.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Eze Azike was, however, not lucky as he was found dead at a market square in his community on Friday.
