"The kidnappers targeted the woman when she closed from work, and kidnapped her. She was waiting for a vehicle to convey her home. While she was still waiting at the bus stop, three men armed with guns, came down from a sports utility vehicle, forced her into their vehicle, tied her up, and drove off.
"When vigilante operatives from the Nnewi Central Vigilante Group were alerted, they pursued the suspected kidnappers. When their vehicle fell into a ditch, they abandoned their victim and fled."
