WORKING on a tip-off, police were able to free a kidnapping victim who was being held hostage by suspects in a unit they had rented in a well-known gated complex in Escombe, Queensburgh, last week. A 42-year-old Nigerian man who was reported missing was found bound with tape when members of a specialised police unit stormed the home where he was being kept, on the back of extensive investigative work.
