Okoye said already, one suspect, Justine Emmanuel, a 38-year-old male from Amaimo in the Ikeduru local government area of Imo State, was arrested, while the 19-year-old young lady, whose name is withheld for privacy, was rescued.

He said, “vigilant operatives on visibility patrol, who observed the syndicate in a blue and white bus forcefully taking the young girl to an undisclosed location where they intended to kill her and harvest her organs.
